Goodbye to the digital cybershot cell phone cameras that claim to give the best clear picture of a moving object and welcome to this cool rolling shutter iPhone camera that takes picture with a photoshop effect.
The picture in digital cameras is not taken the instance the button is pressed. Instead, the object is scanned horizontally or vertically and hence, not all parts of it are captured at once. Some parts lead and the some of them lag the others.
For those who want to try this out, just point your simple electronic shutter camera at an object moving parallel to you, preferably fast, and take the photo. The faster the relative speed between you, the more the distortion. Rotating objects go really weird!
The picture can leave you in utmost amazment if you come to know that this is an IPhone 4 camera picture and isn't made up at photoshop. You might be wondering how these airplane propellor blades are floating in air totally out of gravity's control; they are not. This cool effect is the Rolling Shutter effect that has allowed the photographer to capture the reality as virtuality.
The rolling shutter effect is basically a process in which the picture is scanned from the top left to the bottom right, hence breaking it in to the fragments and all you get is such sort of weird but really cool stuff. The product is something cool but really weird.
