Re: OT: Photographic Musings While Stuck in Traffic

Actually, it's not just the speed of the shutter, but the
direction of travel as well that causes the tilt.  If a car is
traveling fast enough, and you use a slow enough speed on a
vertical focal plane shutter, you'll get that effect.  You won't
get it with a horizontal shutter, however.
