Yes - the shaft is skew a bit - that is due to a nice drive i tried to hit with it which bent the shaft - got to improve that swing!

Light was my mobile's flashlight, scene was bounce-lit with a desk lamp off my carpet (dnmc nazis MAY pick up on that "main source of illumiation" clause in the title description), tee was held up with White-tac and the club was an engineering feat involving a wire coathanger, a cardboard box and some cellotape :)

I'm hoping this will do alright considering my bombed "out of the box" religion score :)

very creative - excellent capture of expressing motion. I think a colored tee or a black ee would have been a way to isolate the ball that much more. nice job--

excellent shot, not a very complex painting with light setup, but a very cleanly executed shot and a very good concept. One of my favorites so far

Small, but nice! I like the light between the club and the ball!

My favorite part is the light at the point of contact.

The light gives it some motion but it still lacks something I can't pinpoint. Love the bright spot just between the driver and ball.

a nice unique take, some movement of the head would have been nice. Good Luck

pretty cool shot. love the small amount of light visible between the club and the ball. this would have had a major plus for me if you could see movement. Perhaps use the flash at the exact moment of actual contact and then still have the exposure going to do the light painting? not sure.

Nice one! Very creative :)

nice, but wish you hadn't cropped it quite so tight, vertically. Maybe you had some unwanted noise or something you didn't want to show? 8
