Why? because that is how long it takes the shutter slit (at higher speeds) to cross the image, thus your camera had better be steady for all that time. I 'discovered' this some time ago when I had an image that was sharp on one end and exhibited shake on the other. It took me awhile to figure it out, but it was not out of focus because of the subject plane. Finally, it sunk in and I knew the cause. Dennis - -- Experience is a tough teacher.
