Agreed!!! I think the angle is deceiving. Regardless of how fast those little wings are beating, 186,000 MILES/second is fast enough that you'd never catch a different pose in the bird than the shadow casted. Still cool pic's and that's a good camera to catch that bird as clearly as it did without blur. Sorry though Tony, it's not as it seems.... That bird is only 5 feet maybe from where the shadow is cast, that would be a really face flap, and movement of the head and body,
Cool pic bro. You even managed to get the shadow of your head in it to the right near the window. Nicely done.
I ain't buying it, Doug ... in the shadow his wings are clearly im front of him ... while it is opposite with him .... no consistency way to manipulate light and angle to get that result from something stand ind still ... and he is only about 2 feet from the shadow sent from my DROIDX 2 using Tapatalk with permission from Germ and to impress others.
Look at both pics .... it has to be something with the speed of the shutter and the speed of the birds wings ... has to be ... there are enough know it alls on this site ... someone give me a theory that is better than mine..
Not sure exactly how the shutter on a digital works, but if its the same as a 35 mm, part of the photo would be exposed slightly before or after another part. But if I'm not mistaken, digital works differently....
Been awhile since the photography days, but I'll see what I can come up with. You'd have to use a fast shutter speed, somewhere in the 1/125 or 1/250 range in order to get the bird's wings without any blur. In that amount of time, light is able to travel almost 8 million feet. The only way this picture is possible is either the camera takes pictures in an odd way (like sampling different areas at different times) or it is a little doctored.
It is from my 8mp DROIDX 2 using .... and it wasn't doctored.... sent from my DROIDX 2 using Tapatalk with permission from Germ and to impress others.
