Wow how did they get this photo of a moving subject in a camera from the 30's. I'm impressed
Fast film (you can see how grainy it is when you zoom in a little) and shooting in full bright sun = you can shoot very short exposure and freeze motion.
The lens looks pretty fast too - depth of field is very shallow, although part of that is also due to likely use of large format - faster lens (lower f stop) and larger film both allow more light capture, and therefore faster exposure as well, but at the cost of less depth of field.
Nice reply, btw. I thought it looked impressive at first, especially with the lack of motion blur but noticed the short depth of field which got me thinking a bit, but it stilled looked impressive. Your link is less sharp/more grainy so maybe the OP's image could be digitally enhanced? which would explain some of the quality.
TIL thanks
