This image appeared in Picture Post, with the caption: How can you most realistically photograph speeding sport? By 'stopping' the athlete in flight, so that he seems to stand still? Or by using a camera to emphasize the movement à ? DAVID MOORE took these pictures by swinging his camera with the moving subject and shooting at 1/10th of a second at f22.

The exhibition then travelled to Monash Gallery of Art, Melbourne, in 2006, changing its title to David Moore A Vision, 1927-2003; and then to Bendigo Art Gallery (2006), Shepparton Art Gallery (2006), Albury Regional Art Gallery (2007), Gold Coast City Art Gallery (2007), Wollongong City Gallery (2007), Mildura Arts Centre (2008), and finally to LaTrobe Regional Gallery (2008). A Limited Edition of the series was also produced.
