Capturing History

Although I dont like Barry Bonds, and find him to be a cheater, I did find it interesting to see a short video, demonstrating a special sequence setup used by photographer Robert Hanashiro. This setup consists of 3 canon digital slr bodies, equipped with 600mm lenses, working as one to capture a sequence of Barry Bonds' record breaking swing. To be honest, I have no idea how they made this work, but i'm sure in the future, i'll understand this a little more. I just found this to be absolutely awesome, using such equipment as one system to capture history at 30 fps. Check out the video at the link below for a better understanding.
