All three shots are very well done b.c. You went to a lot of trouble to set these up & got excellent results. Well done mate:-)

thanks CJ & Sharon! well of course I'll gladly share my technique with you! :) --- in a word: Ultrapod II
All 3 of my shots in Exhibition were taken with the camera firmly attached to the moving object with an Ultrapod II. As well, the swivel LCD of the G2 was essential in framing the shot as the object was moved. So for example in this shot, the camera and racquet were panned together to keep the racquet sharp (pre-focused manually). I'll add some other details to each shot...
