Description

This took so long to take.
It took over 200 attempts to get this.
I had the camera set up on the tripod, at about a meter away from where i was standing, and i had set everything up on the camera, and had the remote shutter connected. Then told adam to stand there and press the button, i had a 2 second timer on.
Then i had to forward pass the yoyo, having the focus on the closest point to the camera, and then the forward pass to get as close as i could get it to the camera without hitting the camera. (The focus point being at about a few centimetres away from the end of the lens).
Anyway, it was pretty much to the minute, it took us 2 hours.
Twice i hit the tripod with the yo-yo, thank god it wasn't my camera.
But yeah, it could be better, it's fairly dark past the yo-yo, but i got the affect i was looking for. Wish my lens had a higher f.

This is a wonderful shot. The end result was completely worth all of the garbage photos. You can feel the action in this shot.
