There are classic (non-digital) SLR cameras which have a slit moving across the film (focal plane shutter) rather than a central shutter. I dimly remember reading about strange effects that can be produced by these, so I looked it up on wikipedia (see quote below). - So this not an effect new or restricted to digi-cams.

Seen it
The cellar had already documented this phenomenon. As I recall, a guy had modified a flatbed scanner to work as a digital camera and he would get similar weirdness in his photos of moving objects.
Although for a flatbed scanner, slowly moving would be enough to cause crazy images. Still looks cool though. |

Cool how the camera even manufactured the parts of the prop that wouldn't be visible, at all. You know, covered by the nose cone. Yeah, that's cool, a camera that automatically photoshops your pics for ya. Awesome.

It's new to me and now I want to borrow someone's iPhone to see if I can replicate the effect. Let me borrow yours, OK?

Oh, maybe. But I was focusing on the weird digital time/motion capture aspect of it.

No, but I wanted to do that with an old scanner I had. Matthias and I are cut from the same cloth though.

Here are some pics of stationary propellers so you can see how the blades come out the side of the nose cone:

You stood a few feet in front of a spinning propeller just to take a photo? And the wheels aren't chocked, either. Sounds like a Darwin award waiting to happen.
By the way, where is Bruce now? He hasn't said anything since he posted the picture. Bruce? Hello? Let us know you're alright. |

I'll see what I can do with my iPhone. Looks like a noble cause.
