We will wait see what Rupert has to say but I still say the lines you see are from the fence

The shot was taken handheld with camera setting F3.5 & 1/800 se @, 200mm & ISO5000.

No electronic shutter was used. Only mechanical shutter setting, what you see as lines or grid is in fact that I had to shoot through fences to get the angle I wanted. Lens and camera performed very well indeed. Challenge to get a clear shot with the frame in mind was a real challenge due to fence in all views at street level (other than a few restricted areas for official photographers only, did not think those spots were good in composing good pics, only clear view). Another challenge was to get the shots with the right lighting as lighting was dependent on location of flood lights.

No. I missed shooting the crash but was at the right spot to witness it right before my eyes (less than 50ms). The rain just started then and I had just arrived at the spot after crossing over from the starting line

How close to the fence were you standing?

i mentioned befor that if you press the lens up against the fence wide open you will not see the fence. It’s an old trick I have been using for donckys

Yes it's an old trick though I'm not sure what it has to do with donkeys more than any other animal?

 

Here's why I am asking. There about 30 banded lines on the image. I can't work out what kind of fence has links that close together that you get that many lines on an image shot at 200mm.

There is an overall clearence of 3m to the fences.

 

OK well then I'm struggling to see how the banding is due to the fence.

 

Think about it; you're stood 3m from the fence and you're focal length is set to 200mm, which means that your field of view at 3m is half a meter wide. In your shot there are around 30 vertical dark bands (I cannot see the horizontal ones - can anyone else?). The fence shown above has 34 vertical struts per pannel and each pannel is probably 2.5m wide. In order to see the banding you got in the image, there would either have to be four times the number of wires in the each pannel or your shot includes pretty much the full width of one pannel, which means you were stood more like 13m behind it.

 

Clearly it's a slow day for me at work and I should stop thinking about this! :D I still like the image mind.
