Not sure what you mean by "windmilling" but suspect you're talking about the wagon wheel effect

That's an optical illusion where the apparent rotation of the spoked object appears to rotate differently (speed and direction) from the reality.

The rolling shutter causes skewing of objects. It can be seen in car/bike races where vertical structures (stands, flagpoles) appear as diagonals.

Recte: Not quite skewed as diagonals but as lines inclined from the vertical (nm) - sashimi March 17, 2023, 8:56 am
