When I used to photograph football games at college in the early 1970's (Ohio State) I recorded several instances of kickoff's where the kicker's foot had compressed the ball visibly (his toe was WAY inside the ball) but the ball was still on the tee, absolutely unmoved. I did this often. (using Leicaflex SL w/ 250mm Telyt.) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages & get email alerts with Yahoo!
