The camera probably uses some scan method to read from the imaging chip. It scans one row or column at a time into a buffer to make up the eventual image. Reading each scan line is fast, so the image appears sharp, but reading the entire series of scan lines takes a finite amount of time, so any camera movement will result in distortion of the image similar to what you see here. I'd wager you wobbled the phone a little as the image was being taken. It's a similar issue to using a slit scan shutter in which the slit can move relatively slowly across the image plane, while only exposing the film or sensor very briefly.

Its a Sony Ericsson. That's the only photo out of about 20 or so that turned out like that

i suspect it scans the picture up the sensor, so as the car has moved forward during the exposure, the top of the frame is taken from a different angle and that creates the lean.

Well I'm getting published for some skate/bmx photo's and the magazine is doing a short biography on me! So pretty stoked on that!

Anyway these two guys were great, really knew how to keep a crowd entertained!

Technically speaking I'm breaching copyright here by posting someone else's shot. OTOH it was my camera and was taken by Missus P&B, she who must be obeyed. She's using mine while she's waiting for hers to arrive......:)
