Welcome all,

I haven't posted any pics for a while so, thought I would share these for C&C. It was the grand final today and I was asked to take a few pictures for St. George Baseball.

Bill,

These shots are good and seem pretty sharp, but for the most part, I feel the series lacks action. Perhaps you have other shots that better depict the action but chose not to post them ?

looks pretty good with the rear lighting.
bg looks very busy you try to frame with cleaner bg or open up on your aperture
you noticed that theres someone pointing their hand at you in the pitchers shot.

try to time your shots for peak action during pitching and bating
takes practice but its quite rewarding for bobs

G'day,

I was going to suggest opening your aperture and try to get a shallower DOF... I see by the EXIF you're already at max aperture for the first one but you could open up more for the other two (I think you were shooting in manual control?)... The only reason I'm thinking of opening up the aperture is that there seems to be not enough people to make a real crowd feel, if it was a big crowd then you might want to include them as a strong subject in the frame to make it look like a bigger event, but only a few people gives a different image...

Also, as mentioned, if you could get the shot with the travelling/flying ball in the frame that'd be really cool... Well for me anyway :lol:

Hey, if the club wants you to take some shots, wonder if it's worth approaching them for a shoot during training... Might be able to get some good angles for shots there too, from on the field... Maybe get where the ref stands and get the ball coming at you or something?

Just a thought

Thanks guys, Baseball is very new to me so I suppose I can only get better. Anyway here are a couple more. The first one OOF and the second one has the ball in flight but really not much better. :lol:

Bill

Those last two show the action... right Craig?

I like the first few too. Well done.
