As mentioned in the book some of the photos illustrating the 11 points have been "made" to the purpose, but the main sequence of the 11 pictures of Michele's back have been taken "live" during an official competition.
In the reality, the picuters taken have been more than 11, but 11 only have been selected for the book.
Digital camera used has been a 5.1 MPixel Sony Cybershot T7 (yes, the very slim one) that only has a 3x optical zoom, but the result was excellent, for this sequence as well as for others that at the end have not been used for the book.
These pictures have been ocmmented in various ways by readers, were the prevalent comment has been that many of them look the same, and in any case do not give the feeling of the movement.
So, to help to understand them better, I have made a simple animated gif from them, that I have already used for some of my presentations of the book in Italy. You can find it here (please, do not link the gif directly to any other page, it is copyrighted). But if this won't be enough, by December you will get The Heretic Archer DVD, and then all will be much more evident.

It's a pity you didn't contact Harry Potter so you could have arranged to have animated photographs in the book. :)
Video sequences a great idea. Impossible to explain this things in words and photos are er static.
The ideal would be video with voice commentry and/or graphic annotations on video (arrows etc.)
Harry was busy with the Half Blood Prince, and could not help me.....
May be next time...
