I went the wrong way again. Fooled by the quirk of the angle there which occurs when one head is much higher than the other.
The similar photo from the other week stopped me going in as big as I might otherwise have, so thanks for small mercies!

Interesting photo print. 2 is the winner by a whisker on the main shot but looks a much clearer nose ahead in the mirror. Looks to me like the mirror was not lined up properly?

To satisfy my curiosity I replicated the Newcastle slo-mo illusion with a few pens.

I always wondered if there is an edge in having a simple bit of software which records the video feed but lets you very quickly roll back x seconds and play in slow motion. There is always a change in the price when the feed plays this but always comes a good 5 seconds+ after, having to actually watch a race is too much hard work for me though.jamesedwards wrote: ↑Thu Nov 20, 2025 9:26 pmInteresting photo print. 2 is the winner by a whisker on the main shot but looks a much clearer nose ahead in the mirror.

Absolutely there would, but you'd have to be super-fast to beat the slo-mo. It's pretty quick these days and plenty can anticipate the result fairly accurately from early in the slo-mo before they even get to the line.LinusP wrote: ↑Fri Nov 21, 2025 2:49 pmI always wondered if there is an edge in having a simple bit of software which records the video feed but lets you very quickly roll back x seconds and play in slow motion.

It's been a great day for the 'outsider of three' strategy.

Actually, there's only been two. I felt like there was one or two more?jamesedwards wrote: ↑Fri Nov 21, 2025 3:07 pmIt's been a great day for the 'outsider of three' strategy.
