A really great series with the "behind the scenes" shots. For me the last shot is the best as you really get a feel for the speed. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comments. I too prefer the last one - unfortunately I only shot a couple at a slower shutter speed, just to see what it was like (this one was at 1/40). Next time I'll shoot more like this as it gives a nice effect...
