Re: PESO: Dodge Challenger Race Package
Holy moly. That's fast. I worked for a time at a Dodge dealership in San Diego. Ralph Pearson, the old sand dragger, was a servicewriter there. His son, Ralph, Jr., had a 1967 Belvedere with an aluminum block 440, dual Holly 4-barrel double pumpers with nitrous. It was a door slammer but it was all decked out with wheel tubs, fuel cell and a parachute. He used to run the car at Carlsbad all the time. That car never ran a 10 flat. That's one fast Mopar.

It's due to a shadow in the rear. Don't know what caused it in front. I thought it contributed to the sensation of motion, but perhaps it's distracting. Well, different viewers see things differently, and I could easily be an outlier from the curve. :-) When initially viewing the photo, I interpreted it as something that'd been added in post, which I now know to be wrong. I'm not sure either what could have caused that effect. If the rest wasn't well focused, I'd wonder if it came from a slight change in the zoom setting on the lens. I think the Pz-1 cameras could do that automatically with the Power Zoom lenses. On closer inspection, it looks like motion blur from slight changes in panning speed, but that's contradicted by the sharpness of the car's body and the lack of similar halos on the interior parts of the car's image. I had a somewhat similar shot from the Petit le Mans this year. On mine there were two well focused images just maybe 20 or 30 pixels apart horizontally. I finally decided that what'd happened was I'd had a hitch in my panning where I either sped up or slowed down with relation to the car momentarily, but otherwise tracked it accurately. I'll see if I can find it and post an excerpt. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Perhaps that darker gray streak on the ground is a pneumatic trigger like service stations used to use to ring a bell when you drove in; blurred by the panning.

RE: PESO: Dodge Challenger Race Package
It's engineered for drag racine. that's surprising. I wouldn't have thought Dodge were particularly interested in 17th century French playwrights who respected the classical unities. And I'm astonished to learn that he, a Jansenist, liked to dress in women's clothing. He seemed like such a nice man. Qui te l'a dit? as Hermione so famously asked.

Re: Dodge Challenger Race Package
It looks to me as though you didn't get the pan exactly right; for maybe 80% of the time you were tracking the car perfectly, but at the start and end of the pan you were off slightly. Exposure was, I'd guess, somewhere around 1/60 of a second; in any case the car hasn't moved far enough during exposure for it to be a change in the angle subtended by the car. And I think it looks pretty clear that this is an artifact limited to the direction of motion of the car - at the front you can see an echo of the red decal, and at the rear you can see the white teardrops at the end of the two white lines that come closest to the rear of the car. Looking at other parts of the image (the airscoop on the hood, and the rear of the roof) also shows only horizontal smearing. It apears to be striclty horizontal, not radially out from the centre of the image, so I doubt if it's reflection off a filter. P.S. Nice car. Nice image.
