Used my coat for the background, propped the racket up with a SNES box covered in a T-shirt and a couple of pillows and my desklamp underneath, then took appox 200+ photos.

Slight levels adjustment, cropped and resized. Submitted.

Cool shot. Can’t wait to see how you shot it. I think its a stroboscopic flash, like I used on my self portrait. Only yours is done much better. Great control of the dark background (something that plagues me still). Focus is sharp on the racked even though it has to be moving just a bit from the ball, unless you got this dropping it onto the racket on the way down. Cool I’m even more intrigued. 2 more hours and Ill have my answer... Great job.

Is that a tennis racket and ball? Cool, you make the setup look like a bullet speeding towards a barrier.

I wouldn't have cut the two edges of the racket like this, but interesting shot. Is it a rotation?

Interesting take on the challenge. The ball gives the impression of speed that always shows up in a tennis match. Did you try different angles (to show the racket more) or with the racket moving as well? This might have improved the impact for this image.

Exposure is bang on.

Yup that's speed. I like the idea you've come up with and I think not being able to see the frame of the racket is actually very enhancing - 9.

Too bad we don't see the tennis ball ....I assume it's there on the right but it's too hard to tell. Nice try and good idea.
