Golfball Contact (x1)

I set up my D300, threw on a Nikon 200-400mm f/4, and used Nikon SB-800s as remote flashes to get this shot. And I also used self-timer, which made it pretty tough. I took like, six or seven shots, and this was the best one I could muster up. I had to shoot at 1/8000th of a second to get it, naturally. I wish I could have gone faster, but, couldn't...oh well.

Thanks for looking. Comments, critiques, and jokes are all welcome and appreciated.

oohh, Ive been so tempted to do this. My camera only goes up to 1/2000 with the shutter so I have no chance of getting a clear image, or a clear shot out of my backyard lol. How many frames a second did you shoot at?? I think my video camera will do 1/8000 so at 30 fps, you'd think you would catch one frame with the ball squished against the face..Im going to set that up next time I go to the range during the day.

I really like the lighting on that shot though, nice effort.

I did one frame. My flashes don't recycle fast enough to do more than one frame. Haha. That's why this shot isn't fantastic...it's a one and done deal.
