not sure I mentioned this before but some time ago I was asked about the prop blades effect and at
the time I made s simulation of what was going on using a flat bed scanner as the equivalent of the
rolling shutter ... which is a offshoot of focal plane shutters ... you can read all about it here:

PTassembler and related sites ... impressive!!
My recent forays into panoramic photography are based on using a camera intended for machine vision
applications ... a monochrome linear array camera ... and placing it atop a motorized rotating
tripod head. No article yet but photograph can be sees at:
