Having basicly daylight lenses at this time, I have tried a few different things at times with night shots. These shots are all handheld and I have had very different responses from people who have seen them

The 1st and 2nd are both taken with istds iso400 28mm-90mm 3.5-5.6 lens
this one is 34mm 1/30sec shutter speed.


This one is 90mm 1/45sec shutter speed.


This last one is a scan of a film shot I took on my Z10 with iso400 fuji film 100mm-300mm 4.5-6.7 lens.
focal was 300mm shutterspeed set to 8 (whatever that equates to) and hand held.

It is a photo of the pitcher.

So what do you consider them as, Action or Art and how can I improve these sorts of shots?

I like pix's with movement as it gives the image life........ well done

My preference would be the first one - at least you can still see the player

IMHO, the second one is too underexposed - maybe try increase the brightness a tad.

3rd pic - wasn't sure whether it was a rodeo clown or a pitcher (as you said) I was looking at.

The first one is pretty good, I'd crop tighter - perhaps even go portrait on it to emphasise him and the ball. I ought to try that effect because the ball just there in focus and sharp is a nice effect.

Yes the 3rd one has been called a few different things, so I will now add rodeo clown to the list, I just like the comments these sort of photos bring. People either love them or hate but they keep looking at them, that is how they grew on me anyway.
