The prop hub, or “spinner” as it was so eloquently called, is indeed exhibiting signs of motion. This is why the blade ports (those are the “holes,” CypherFC) aren’t symmetrical (that means “lined up right,” CypherFC) as they should be on a two-blade propeller.

Quite a cool picture. I miss the days when cameras used film. Then people of limited understanding of physics couldn’t claim “shooped I kan tel by da pix0rz…”

Yes indeed, it is a slice through 4-dimensional space-time on an oblique angle. Another interesting way to think of it is that the propeller sweeps out a corkscrew along the time dimension, and the photograph is taking a slice through that on an angle.

It makes me think: if only the CMOS censor didn’t sweep across the field of view, and captured a single strip streaked across the width of the photo, then you’d have a ‘photo finish’ type camera. Imagine the cool photos you could take! I’d love it if an iPhone app could do that, but I’m guessing the sweep is hard-coded into the camera hardware.

@ meh

“cheap camera” ..? cheap? the iphone?

The iPhone is not cheap but the iPhone is not a camera. The iPhone has a cheap camera attached to it. So you can say that the iPhone is a cheap camera. This is perfectly good mentality!

The mac fanboy haters are far more passionate than the mac fan boys! It’s almost like they are the technogeek equivalent of homophobes, disguising their own self hatred for being secret fan boys of their own computer junk.

@Michael: “This bug occurs with every cmos based camera made. Well… cheaply made.” Tell that to the makers of the RED camera. Not exactly cheap, but still a CMOS sensor. This camera is in greater and greater use in film and TV all the time.

@ Monoco: The church didn’t believe Galileo either. Galileo was right. You are wrong.

@ Everyone arguing whether it is a bug vs. feature: It is neither or either, depending on your perspective. Is it a bug that paint brushes don’t photorealistically depict a subject in any painting on which they are used? The rolling shutter is a *limitation* of the CMOS chip, but since it is there by design, it can’t be considered a bug. Again, it is there by design.

@ Man: Thank you for being right and not being stupid.

@ Stephen Kelly: Good question! Also a much funnier topic of discussion.

Michael, I think you missed the rather obvious humour in some of these comments lol

Cue a spate of look at the fcuk’d photos I can make with my iPhone and perhaps a few Darwin award candidates :p
