I used the same technique for this image as yesterday's, 1 second shutter speed,f8, e.v. +.7 and a tripod. For this one, I fired the shutter, paused breifly, zoomed the lens a little, paused again, zoomed again, paused again, zoomed again and finished with another pause. The tricky part is accomplishing all this in only 1 second, but when done properly will show 4 crisp focused sets of balls.
HAPPY BELATED ANNIVERSARY TO ROGER BERNABO AND HIS LOVELY WIFE!!

And a second late congrats for another stunning winner, Donald! "Awesome!" At least here, I have somewhat of an excuse for missing this, as I hadn't really joined yet. I really stand in awe of in-camera motion such as this: especially since it's so symetrical and portions are in such clear focus. EXCELLENT work! #2840768Z. Banu February 02, 2007 0
