Long time ago, I read somewhere on the net that in order to freeze fast moving subjects, one should use at least 1/500s shutter speed. Something has been bugging my mind:
1. The shutter (or more accurately, the slit between the two curtains) doesn't move that fast.
2. If the slit only moves across the focal plane at 1/200, then why wouldn't we see weird, stretched-out subject in fast action shots?
Thank you

I can't answer your questions but this photo by Jacques Henry Lartigue is weird, stretched out and fast action. Admittedly it was taken in 1912 and shutters have advanced since then:

Freezing action is quite complicated business, from my observations taking photos from moving vehicles a 125mph landscape requires about 1/500th second. Distance is needed with fast action. |

Some thoughts:
* 1/500 isn't faster than a speeding bullet. Sometimes even 1/4000 doesn't stop motion. A fast strobe stops motion.
* Motion won't stretch much at 1/4000. Motion isn't stretched on any of my cameras. Too bad. I could use the effect.
* Shutterless digital P&S's just read the sensor for a fraction of a second. So, no shutter effects that I know of.
* Would we like a digital camera that simulates shutter effects in-camera? Do we add such effects in PP? Why/not?
