On the subject of sports photography, have any of you guys ever tried to emulate a focal plane distortion like this shot by Jacques-Henri Lartigue?

About a 'page or so down is a small thumbnail of the right side of a couple dancing. Robert Doisneau, an extra twist...
it really can't be done with a speed graphic because 1/30 is too fast for that sort of distortion
i have done it ( barely ) with a graflex slr, and a shutter at around 1/15S and a moving bus ( /barely )
but never at a sports event
John,
My SG shutter goes down to 1/10th second - However, I make an assumption that the smallest slit should be set with the slowest tension - (Aperture D with Tension 1 = 1/500th sec) I have found the SG shutter to be fairly accurate
I will take it to town today and try - Results to follow, though I really need a big road, which could we weeks away

Anyway, I feel this is the only one way to find out
It's funny...
I was shooting sports with a Speed Graphic in the early 1960s and tried very hard to __avoid__ this kind of distortion.

Nope. Horizontal distortion stretches the subject width without distorting vertical lines.i thought, yhis image was an example of horizontal shutter distortion with fast-moving subjects, which is different to focal-plane distortion.

Hi Sirius,
Your shutter speed is too slow. Go back and read my post #4.
You must use a shutter speed fast enough that the shutter aperture is a moving slit.
