Do You Think He Can Make this Catch, Mates?


Photographer:  unknown


There's such a tremendous look of anticipation from everyone in the picture and, if you look closely, you will see the ball descending from about the top center.  There's such sensational excitement from every single one of the watchers it make it an extraordinary photograph ... but ...

Zen Yogi:  you have one tiny question?

The Rockhouse always has one tiny question, Yogi.  From where was the photographer shooting this picture to get such a tremendously tight focus when it seems his or her vantage point must have been from somewhere on the field.

Zen Yogi:  maybe the photographer has a billion-dollar camera and this is from the other side of the field.  How else could it be from near ground level?

Dunno about a billion-dollar camera but definitely a billion-dollar lens.  We will have to leave this to the Camera Club to resolve since the shot looks just about impossible.

Zen Yogi:  lots of sports shots look impossible and sports photographers must use camera kit which is otherwise reserved for astronauts

Fair enough, Yogi, but I'll still be leaving it to the Camera Club to resolve.  Meanwhile, that is one fantastic photograph.
