How do I avoid this, or is it a camera flaw?

Dear Carl, "bubbles" in digital images occur when you use the camera's flash in a place where's a lot of dust in the air. Yes, the bubbles are tiny dust particles captured by the digital camera's low-focal-length objective. Remedy? Use weaker alternative light sources inside or buy an expensive air filtering system ;-) #3085

Ernest,

Thanks. I found and read extensive interactions in the Q and A section of this site, but your shot, to the point discussion was quite appropriate.

In looking further at my photo, I think the corner of the pan in which the cake was baked is reflecting back on the lens.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Here is the same phenomenum capatured in a shot of Old Silverton, Colorado. It's not the full moon. I assumed it was something on the lens, like a moisture spot. Exactly what is it? #13230
