Fast it wasn't. Most of us spent most of the time walking ahead, beside or behind, easily jumping on an off without interrupting forward progress.
The all-auto version of the famous 35 RD, sporting the same 6-element, fast lens that you'll never find in a consumer grade cameras nowadays.

Yes... they are "Hot Wheels" toy cars.

Chris Quinn's rapidly moving hands as he plays an up tempo Sweet Georgia Brown to entertain visitors to this motorhome event.
Photographed indoors in poor overhead light at the Travelworld motorhome weekend.
The Manly Fast Ferry - which covers Circular Quay to Manly in 18 minutes from between $5.50 to $9.50 one-way - zips past Sydney's Garden Island.
Despite resistance from those who hoped it could become a (somewhat unlikely) tourist attraction, the hammerhead crane which was unused since 1996 is being removed in the background, freeing up berthing areas for an estimated $7.4 million removal bill. That compared with mothballing it for $21 million, restoring it for $31 million, or retaining it and building a new dock east of Garden Island ($124 million). The project will be completed in November 2014.
Ten days after landing the First Fleet in 1788, Captain Phillip allowed the crew of the Sirius to grow vegetables at Garden Island. The NSW Government gave it over to naval use in 1856, and it is occupied today by Thales Australia and the Australian Navy. There is a RAN Heritage Centre on the island, which can be accessed by tour bus or a ferry to Garden Island wharf, but there is no walking access.
Very simple yet very fast photosensor circuit. The 51 ohm resistor matches to a 50-ohm cable so there is no ringing (edit: well, a bit edit2:truly, no ringing). The photodiode is an Osram SFH213, which claims a 5 nanosecond risetime. The 420 ohm resistor prevents the photodiode from slagging itself (drawing too much current and overheating) in bright light, but the 0.47uF cap allows capture of bright transients (say, from a strobe tube...).
Output goes to an oscilloscope with a 50 ohm input (with sufficient bandwidth, natch).
In practice, you want to keep the distance from the flash far enough (or use diffusion or reflection) so the output is less than a volt for flashes up to a few milliseconds, otherwise you discharge that cap too much and the curve gets distorted. For long durations (like continuous light), outputs up to 500 mV are linear.
(BTW: the resistors are surface-mounts, on the other side of the board, but that's not at all critical - just what I had on hand. I use a 9V battery for convenience. 6V or 12V should work fine too.)
Bald Eagle in flight...Taken on the Day when Don and Ashala joined me. This particular shot was when Don and I were talking. All of a sudden here the Eagle comes flying very fast, I did not have but a moment to warn Don. We did get just a few shots and it was outta here. But the light was really good on this close fly by. Pretty exciting to see and experience.
