Spots or Stripes?

Having figured out the shutter speed setting perviously, we've tried to get a long exposure shot of a break on our new american pool table. This was harder than expected as timing & keeping the camera steady were a bit problematic. However, by employing cunning use of a gorilla pod, a small pair of stepladders and some co-ordination with counting, we got this shot.

This is a provisional entry on the WBC theme of "red" due to the red baize on the pool table.
