eos 10 fan Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 http://www.wired.com/gadgets/digitalcameras/magazine/15-07/st_nascar Modified Hasselblad - "adding a high-velocity motor, locking the shutter open, and inserting a metal plate with a laser-cut slit. Whenever Graves triggers the motor, film zips past the slit at up to 1,400 rpm, capturing stills of the speeding cars."

stephan_meier Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Interesting thing, but not completely new. The Seitz Roundshot Super 220 panorama camera has a similar exposure mode, the lens head does not turn, only the film is moved behind the slit. http://www.roundshot.ch/xml_1/internet/de/application/d478/f632.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric friedemann Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 He may not even have been the first, but Neil Leifer used the same technique to photograph skier Billy Kidd about 40 years ago (scroll down): http://bermangraphics.com/press/leifer.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q.g._de_bakker Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 It's all not very original, nor anything even close to 'new technology'.<br>It's a plain old photo finish camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
