Rolling Shutter Propellers

Jason Mullins shot a series of photos of an airplane propeller with his iPhone 4 that demonstrate a rolling shutter effect, where the object being photographed is moving faster than the shutter as it scans the frame.

Here’s another example shot by Soren Ragsdale in 2009.

A similar thing can happen with video, as Mikel Ortega discovered when shooting a propeller with his Nokia N95. Via

For all you Chicagoans that survived our crazy storm wednesday, here’s a pretty awesome view of the action, captured by Craig Shimala.

Mike Burdon Photography

“I have always been a keen observer of the world around me and the detail which it provides. I have found photography to be my window for expression, to allow me to convey thoughts and ideas through images. Having skydiving as part of my life has taught me important photographic knowledge, and allows me to have an unusual amount of creative freedom while shooting.” Mike Burdon

Seth Ricart

Some killer photography from Creative League’s own photographer/motion designer Seth Ricart.

Ok, pardon me while I geek out on the new “Content Aware” fill function in the upcomming release of Photoshop. Apparently they’re on to some kind of witchcraft/voodoo at Adobe.
