Re: Is the bend in the shaft in this picture real ?

I don't think this is real. I believe that the pictures do not represent the same instant in time. I do not know whether the reason is mechanical (shutter mechanism) or digital, but I believe that the images are effectively constructed (horizontal) line by line, and that the image of your head was taken earlier that the image of your feet. Think of this as moving a piece of paper on the photo-copier while the scan is taking place.
