as well as the normal bits including calendar and buyers guide.
Itās possible that two different flashes went off while the shutter was open, the one on the main camera, and another one off to the side somewhere. Very cool.
I think your supposition is correct. You can see another flash on the far left side of the photo, which looks like it could have illuminated the green rim.
I think youāre both wrong, and youāre not giving enough credit to Marcus Hahn for inventing a new trick. Isnāt it obvious that heās found a way to flip the rim around on its own whilst leaving the tyre and tube in the frame.
It may sound hard, and goes against all we know about physics, but I predict that within a year or two everyone will be doing it!

ps yes, the new Uni magazine is great. Iāve only had a chance to look at the photos so far, but it looks like a great read again.
Yeah, thats exactly what happened! I was taking pictures from the same place and Mike showed me at least 3 pics where you could see other flashesā¦ I only got one
Canāt wait to get mine here Lots of pics from EUCā¦ I hope to be in at least one
Cool! I feel honoured. Iām just like you and Rob now
The even bigger surprise was that this wasnāt the first thread to use that tag. But now I think about it, itās amazing that so many others got away untagged
I donāt think that flash is the one lighting up the rim though. Itās probably a little flash on a compact camera. My guess is someone to Mikeās left with a decent amount of flash power (or closer) lit that part up.
Itās not uncommon to have other flashes show up in your photos, because flash is relatively instantaneous, while the shutter is open many times longer than that.
My guess is that the flash is coming from the illegal test of a thermonuclear device in Pakistan. It just happened at the exact instant that the wheel was rotated as shown about the frame axis.
Sounds great - canāt wait to see it. Thanks for posting Roger. And when it comes to theories about optical illusions and such, just donāt listen to Harper and youāll be fine.
Thanks for posting this Roger!
Iām back from honeymoon and can reveal the set-upā¦
Two off-camera flashes and as rightly guessed, someone elseās flash across the room which gave the double flash image. weāve done no photoshop work whatsoever to the shot which makes it even better - we did consider some ācleaningā around the edges but decided on a āpurerā shot.
Thanks guys
I forgot to mention that the shutter speed was a ridiculously slow 1/60th, increasing the chance of catching someone elseās flash.
And the non-UK deliveries were sent in the mail directly from the UK, but avoiding the Royal Mail which has been in chaos for months - some US readers may get their copies before the UK!!! I know that copies have reached the Netherlands alreadyā¦
