IOW, the short story is that he uses a photofinish camera. Unlike the horse track versions, this one isn't mounted opposite a mirror on the finish post, which is why the photofinish pics you see in the race results have a simultaneous view from both sides of the track. Those photofinish cameras shoot large format rollfilm, or even straight to paper.
Rotating panorama cameras (but not the swinging lens type)will give the same result if they are prevented from rotating Regards, Anthony Farr -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kenneth Waller Sent: Sunday, 4 March 2007 12:24 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: OT -so how about a pano of moving objects ? Each image he makes is from one exposure on an entire roll of film, not a composite of several different images. He gets 66 inches of movement of the film in one second. The film is moving relative to the moving subject. He's using a standard Hasselblad 500 series but the film back contains a small motor & various electronics adapted from the robotics industry. This gives him control of how fast the film moves when he opens the shutter. If he gets it right, the film is moving @ the same speed as the cars, allowing for a photo with dozens of speeding cars, all sharp.
