Spaghettification

**Marcus Carlsson** · 21-May-2007, 00:27

I just saw a cool thing when I played with my LF the other day.

I was going to do a full length portrait of my daughter while she was standing.
The camera was in the same height as her chest and I dropped the front as much needed for the feet to be just insided the GG (and her head was in top of it).
When I focused on her, I saw that her feet accelerated out of the GG, but her head was almost still.
I have never tried this and it just remind me of the word 'Spaghettification' (which means):

The word 'Spaghettification' means in astrophysics that when an object is near a for instance black whole, the gravity in the near end is so much stronger than on the other end that the object will be drawn like a spaghetti. I belive that it was Stephen Hawking who came up with the word.

Anyway it was cool, but on the same I noticed that if she angled her feet, they would be huge

Did you see a Doppler shift in the color of her shoes as they accelerated?

It didn't occured to me at that time and I shoot B&W so I can't see now

Is the lens you are using a Goerz Red Shift Artar?

Caltar II-N 180 (If I don't write any letters wrong).

Marcus I think he's joking - but I might me in a nonparallel universe. Where I'm from spaghettification also arises from gravity's influence, but results in dried tomato sauce everywhere.

In the time/frame continuum, can't spaghettification only occur when it's half pasta the hour?

It must also stick to the wall (or ceiling).

Ok, maybe because I don't recognize the strange brand then

Anyway have you all noticed this phenomenen (the lens I mean

)?

Yes, Marcus, I was joking. I thought you'd pick up on "red shift" instead of "red dot." The Goerz Red Dot Artar has a cult following, but since I'm not a member I don't know who is high priest. The rites seem to be similar for other cults, with the exposure and burning of silver-coated plastic and paper. But for some reason they keep the paper flat, instead of folding it into an origami calf or bull.

I have a Caltar II-N 210, and that's not something I've seen. Was the camera's back parallel to the subject or parallel to a divergent universe? If it was a divergent universe, then the effect should be seen with any lens.
