    I was actually hoping to see some more movement myself. There were two weak constant light sources: the turntable strobe light in the upper left and the pop-up light on the bottom. I needed about 15s exposure at f/11 to record them correctly as bright lights. Adjustment for reciprocity failure of the film turned that into 90s. So whatever got illuminated by these two light sources should show movement, and it does. It's mostly visible on the bottom right of the picture.
    The flash was a Canon speedlight in manual mode with a self-made snoot out of cardboard. That flash was coming from the top left. It was apparently creating a bit more light spill than I intended. I think that's why you can clearly see some dots on the edge of the platter and that area appears frozen.

    If I were to take a photo like this again, I would get the flash in closer and let it only hit the record label itself, not the vinyl. Then an additional constant light source shining somewhere on the vinyl (but not the label) should be able to create a visibly blurry area and convey more of a sense of motion.

    Thanks/Danke Ritchie!

    Once I hope to have shot a photo with each camera shown....(it will depend now mostly on getting the right filmholders)

    Mjork, thanks for the complete story and for showing the great Technics.
