Regards, Bob S. Thanks Bob, I went to the game unprepared so I got as close to home plate as I could to concentrate on that area and capture the ball and bat. Sat. I think I will work on the action at 1st or third. I haven't done sports in years but last week I did bull riding it certainly is a change of pace from my landscapes.

It helped that he threw lots of slow curves. I found it easy to time him and so did the hitters.

Like the first and third better than the middle one... The third one has really nice geometry... so.. did he hit the ball out of the park or is it in the catchers glove? Swing and a miss. ann Well in photos bigger is often better. The 3rd one was my favorite because I loved they way they were all lined up and took the photo to capture just that. Thanks for looking twice.

Tell me it was called a ball. Oh it was a ball - the strikes were all put into the outfield - the pitcher lasted 3 innings.

Cheers Brian Brian so glad you liked them, baseball is cricket with half the action but the games are shorter. I am going to a ball game Sat so maybe I can get the ball in the glove the old fashioned way.
