After some short travels during the holidays season, I had a
trip to Southern California, and now I am slowly going through the photos
I've got.
Here is my experiment with Paradise Pier at Disneyland:

I am not sure if I completely like how I captured the effect. I was trying
to get something yet different, but unfortunately, this attraction
stopped while they were preparing for a big show with lights. I took
this photo during the last ride of it, while trying to figure out what
would be the best exposure time for it.
1 second exposure time, f/3.5, ISO 80 with K-5 IIs.
The camera was handheld. I had a tiny tripod, but didn't have time or
space to use it (it was very crowded). So, one can see the shake.
But the signs of that shake are somewhat puzzling. At least I was puzzled
for quite some time.
If you look at the lights along the vertical "column", the have a shape
of "check-marks". But, the shape of different lights is different.
And it changes from the top to the bottom.
My only explanation (albeit a very sketchy one) is that this variation is
due to the shake-compensation working differently for items being at a
different distance.
Any other thoughts?
For a reference, here is a shorter shot (1/10 s):

(I didn't completely correct for the tilt on this one, - but I think
it looks better this way, - because of the horizontal lines - bars at the
top.)
All comments and suggestions are very welcome!
