Impact!

I'm working with a friend that is taking a photography class and I needed to shoot some black and white 35mm film to have something to work with in the darkroom. I loaded up a roll of Pan-X 125 before heading in to San Francisco for an appointment. I stopped off afterwards at The California Palace of The Legion of Honor and was taking shots when I saw this woman getting ready to tee-off on the golf course next door. I zoomed in, focused and let the six frames per second motordrive do the rest. As you can see, the result is a shot of the ball just as it is starting to fly off of the club face at impact.

 

I've cropped the image for composition and reduced the resolution as the original 6,400dpi scan was 152MB in size.
