p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Is my new shutter gone ?


I've got only 1,100 shots on my replacement 1DMkIIN shutter, and it seems to have gone belly up already ?

(Shot with 500 f/4 IS MkI, f/4, 1/1000 sec)

This is a well known effect that occurs when the aircraft exceeds the speed of sound. A visible vapor cloud delineates the shockwaves of the faster than sound wavefront.

Here's another duck illustrating the phenomenon:

Looks like a OOF bird flying in front of your target.

It is not uncommon to be "embraced by the light" after being shot.

The duck is being beamed up. It's obvious.

Send in your camera again, Peter. Its just a seagull OOF. 1DMkIIN should focus better.

I'm starting to feel bad here for being so aloof.

If Peter's spare for his spare for his spare duplicate twin third backup 1DMkIIN really did blow a shutter, maybe we could all be a little more consolatory.

Sorry Peter, yup it does. Forget about canon this time. Let me do the service for you. I will keep yours and return $600 cash if i can't fix it. I can also upgrade your 50L1.0 for a small charge w/ same term as well

You men are funny, but Jim V. and then Ralph got the correct diagnosis.
However, when I chimped that shot on the camera, my first thought was that the shutter blew.....fired another shot, and it was OK. Only then I realised what must have happened.

you can definitely tell it's a gull, with the shape of the wing and the gray middle and white outer edging

a blown shutter means a straight line across the frame, or a black shot or a wildly overexposed shot, not like a white clouds of dust on the image hehe

to me it looks like the duck is simply breaking the sound barrier and as that is much more likely than the rare chance for a blown shutter i'm surprised that was not your first thought, my first thought would've been duck at high speed

No, just a bad photo composition. The front obect is OOF.

Well, on the 1DMkIIN's LCD in bright ambient light, that thing looked just like a white band accross the frame.

Nah, the duck's not breaking the sound barrier, but the gull is. And if it's a supersonic gull, just think of the hypersonic velocity of its wings! Cavitation, anyone?

You might get cavitation from a speedy penguin underwater, but not from a gull in the air. Damaging supersonic shock waves would be a different matter. Stupid supersonic gulls.

I don't know what Mother Nature was dreaming up when she thought the cloaca was an idea worthy of implementing on a few select models.

Especially when emptied mid-flight! ;-)
