Also the same guy who took the bush 9/11 photo caught a 2,000 feet/second object w/ a 30 frame/second camera

.. yeah? Cameras capture light over a duration. Anything that reflects light will be captured.

If an object is left of frame in 1/30 of a second and right of frame by the next 1/30 of a second, it's not going to be captured.

Although that's only relevant when taking video. If it's a picture that means he happened to press the button in the tiny fraction of a second the bullet was in frame.

[-] hypercracker@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Neither of those things you said are true. Both still cameras and video cameras capture light for some nonzero length of time to form each frame. This is called shutter speed. Objects that move during this short duration will show up in the still/frame but be blurry.

Both what I said and what you said are true and not mutually exclusive. If it's only in frame between the end of taking one frame and the beginning of taking the next, it won't show up.

And especially with a rolling shutter if the bullet enters and exists the frame before the rolling shutter has gotten down to it, it won't show up.
