Very clever setup, Justin, I think you caught the action just right! Perfect sample for the theme, toys for grown boys and girls! I'm very jealous, always wanted to have my own billiard table for some after-hours sharking (and you've even got a bar for all the ensuing fights to take place at) ;)

Thanks all! Colleen - of course this is in my billiard room/bar! I guess you remember all of my theme rooms. :) My house is a ranch-style house, and has a very long room with sliding glass doors out to the pool - it's about 40 feet from one end to the other, and maybe 12 feet wide. So the pool table goes there, and I've got a full bar at one end. I'm still working on redecorating there a little - I want the bar redone as an English pub.
Penguin...it wasn't too bad. 10 total shots from 3 angles to see which one looked best. I sunk the ball every time though! ;) The H5 was ona tripod, and I set the 10-second timer. That gave me time to pick up the stick and reposition for the shot...I waited for the fast-beep so I knew the shutter would be firing, then made my shot.

Neat shot, Justin! Now, 'fess up, how many times did you have set this back up? LOL I love it! Karen

You demonstrate great agility shooting pool and photos at the same time. I love the warp speed effect you captured. What room is this in?

That is really cool - I love those streaks of motion!

Justin, looks like you nailed this photo in more ways that one. A GREAT SHOT any way that you look at it.
