It was a fun little project; the speed of the trains affected the horizontal compression of the images.

A few years ago I took a photo out the window of a Shinkansen going 150 mph and was amused that everything in the foreground tilted significantly to the left because of this effect. This is about as close as I'll get to seeing what it's like to get sucked into a black hole.

That sounds more like rolling shutter effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_shutter
