On their way to a historic win this photo was snapped remotely of the US women's World Cup team member Carli Lloyd's bomb from midfield as it bounces off the post and into the net for the third goal in Sunday's World Cup final.

Photographers aren't allowed to station themselves behind the goals so the photographer ran a cable from the camera to his position in the corner of the field (on the Japan side), and operated his camera using a foot pedal so he could also take photos with a long lens.

Is that what sport's photographers call the "money shot" ? Great POV!

I googled it and found a couple of interesting different explanations... some not so G rated....

Well, Sidd. I do have the GP rated wiki:

"The shot or scene of a film that cost the most to produce, most commonly an action sequence. Alternatively referred to as the 'money-making' shot."

I just googled ... "What is the money shot" and your answer was second.

Don't blame it on Sidd, Mom. You're the one who brought the subject up.
