I have no notion as to the nature of this structure, but I would imagine that there is some tower movement imparted as the top structure spins.(?) Logic would dictate that there would be greater amount of movement at the top of the tower which would become progressively less in the course of it's trip to the bottom.

Here is my experiment with Paradise Pier at Disneyland: http://42graphy.org/misc/SoCal2016/ParadisePier_IR31043.jpg 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): http://42graphy.org/misc/SoCal2016/ParadisePier_IR31037.jpg (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.)
