Going to Warp
What’s faster, a camera’s shutter or a frog’s leap? This photo doesn’t really help us answer that question! The frog’s leap was caught during the shot’s exposure and makes it seem like the frog is stretching.
To the sci-fi nerds among us, this is exactly the technique they used to make Star Trek’s Enterprise appear to jump into subspace when it accelerated to warp speeds – but that effect, back in the ’80s, required long hours of painstaking photography with the latest filmmaking equipment available – and all this shot required was a frog and a pocket camera!
