So is that a DH when the winner crossed the line, looking at the still just shown, or is another photo taken when the 2nd/3rd cross the line, which i've always thought was the case.

The cameras take thousands of images per second (the latest ones do anyway)
The vertical and extremely narrow images are spliced together in time series. With moving objects, like horses legs, this invariably produces a composite image that doesn't look like a single high resolution image. The legs get skewed etc I wish we didn't see the slow-motion replays. Punting on the photo finishes is much more interesting from an angle |

The cameras are expensive, so they're stored away for safe keeping between meetings. When they get re-mounted, I know for certain there 'exact' position can vary slightly from one meeting to the next. Hence we get occasional surprises. There was a post slow-mo 1.01 that got beat at Windsor last year
