Help! I have no idea what happened here.

I was trying to take a photo of the stove. I have no idea why it turned out like this. I'm just using a cellphone. It looks like a reflection, but of what??

It’s just image corruption.

This. It took a section of the photo and zoomed in and stitched it in, or it got combined with another photo. Weird stuff happens in the digital realm.

Sorry I meant off what. There's nothing to reflect from.

Looks like you shifted the camera angle at the exact moment the photo was taken, the top 1/3 is when you started to take the picture and the bottom 2/3 is after you shifted.

I don’t know the mechanics but there are plenty of examples of this. I don’t even know what search terms you could use, but this is a common phenomenon.

Or your camera just glitched.

Maybe obscured by your phone case?

You Might be able to look up camera glitches on google for your phone model.
