Love this shot. I like the feel of the dart point coming through the picture. Nice work.

Default Awesome!

Great shot!! You should put that in the "How I Took It" forum. How did you take it? If I had to guess, I would have stuck the dart in a piece of plexiglass, and had someone pose their hand just on the other side, looking like it had just been released.. Very slick!

Wonderful, I like the dart point in focus, the finger slightly off and the face blurred...how did you take it?

I love magic so I'll pass on explanations (I'll divert my eyes). I've noticed this about you. You like to come right to the point. Fabulous, photo, Beach. All elements perfect, including a ducking response.

Yesterday a finger now a dart coming at me!!!

This is a fantastic shot Beach - this would have to be the best I have seen from you, even though ALL your shots are tops.

Yes how did you take this - composition is A+++++, colour of the hand and DOF excellent.

Cheers, Bernz

very cool shot Beach......I suspect we'll be seeing more shots like this from you as the winter months approach. I am guessing that you shot a bunch of shots to get your focus and composition right and then set it to burst mode and pressed the remote to get multiple captures fo which this is one. I see that you are also left handed.....alot of artists and poets are........not sure why that is exactly.
