Abstract
There is disclosed a method of producing a photograph of a mobile subject such as a vehicle, in which method a camera is mounted for linear translational movement along a support in a direction parallel with the path of movement of the subject. A motion transmitting operative connection is established between the subject and the camera such that for a linear translational displacement of the subject in said direction there will be a corresponding linear translational displacement of the camera in said direction along said support. The motion transmitting connection may comprise a mechanical connection e.g. via Bowden cable, or an electrical or electronic servo arrangement. To produce a photograph, the subject is displaced linearly in said one direction while making a photographic exposure in the camera, so that the period of the exposure lies within the period of corresponding movement of the camera along said support.
