A Zoetrope and the Canon T50

[Brian Moore]

I recently posted some pics from the California Museum of Photography, where I visited a few weeks ago. Among the permanent collection there stands a zoetrope and I took a few pics of it with my 7d.

Here is a pic of it I took last year with my T50. I had spun the zoetrope and then forgot all about it. When I took the pic below, I wasn't even conscious that the zoey was still spinning. That is, until I got the film back. The frequency of spin and shutter speed lined up pretty nice, albeit accidental. I was unable to duplicate the feat with my 7d. (Yet another reason to shoot film!)

... what ever happened to "my glass eye" you not doing it any more?

 

[Brian Moore]

Not so much as last year, Hamish. Was posting once day for a long while. Posting about once a week or less now. Also posting less to Flickr and also posting less to my SurfCity blog. But I'm still taking a lot of pics and I post fairly regularly to RPF!

And your pics are appreciated! Another good one.

 

[Brian Moore]

Thank you very much, Rob!

And not just a super picture due to the Zoetrope either - it is fabulously well balanced all over I think.

 

[Brian Moore]

Much obliged, Pete!

For Purely selfish reasons if you can only find the time to post in one place, its gotta be here .

LOL! I promise not to neglect my fellow RPFrs, Hamish!
