Our shutter speed for the camera was approximately 1/10 of a shutter speed so that we could have some blur to show the motion of the person. If I was using a point and shoot camera I would set to the the slowest shutter speed. The part that shows blur is when I had thrown the ball the when i followed through I showed some blur of my arm. Where the camera was set up it was setup about 10 feet away from where I was throwing the ball. I think what helps the photo is the lines on the field to show line and shape.
