It’s curved because the camera has a CMOS chip (rather than the more expensive and better-quality CCD chip). The CMOS uses a rolling shutter, which reads information one line at a time, so if the camera or object is in motion, it can become distorted.
Even weirder results happen when you take video of fast-moving objects, like this airplane propeller.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so.
If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out.
If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania.

Awesome! Looks like it was taken with a fisheye lens.
Are you sure that’s water in that bottle, Matt? Cool picture.
Yea..Karen…they all say it’s just soda……

Wow Jason that is so freaky wild. It is such a cool effect. Love it. Thanks.
Accidental or not, it’s a really cool pic.
ohhh I feel dizzy now…
this happens with my cell camera too(especially when it’s in my pocket) but mostly black pics show up… yours is cooler.
