Re: PESO: Swing, Batter, Swing !
I found it more a matter of timing, patience and repetition ... you just gotta' keep running that play 'til you get it right. We were required to shoot baseball every week for small format class last summer. Acceptable submissions had to have the ball in the frame we weren't allowed to photograph pitchers or batters - had to be a play at one of the bases. Outfielders diving or climbing the wall to make a catch were also acceptable, but it had to be sharp. OTOH, we got in free at the local games, so you could go 3 - 4 times a week if you had to to get your assignments done. Photographing baseball is fun, but I wouldn't really want to do it for a living. From: Steven Desjardins Baseball photography is like hunting. Getting that ball in the shot is a trick.

Re: PESO: Swing, Batter, Swing !
There weren't many close plays on the bases during this game. This wasn't really close, but I did get the ball (barely) in the frame with the first baseman: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=13514688 . I had limited time, as I was attending a party in one of the luxury boxes behind home plate. I plan to go to the ball park by myself, so I can walk around and concentrate on waiting for those action photo opportunities. As you say, it is a matter of timing and even more a matter of patience.

Re: Swing, Batter, Swing !
I like the shot, Dan, but I would like to see a bit more space on the left hand side, which seems too tightly cropped. Cheers, Christine - Original Message - From: Daniel J.

Re: Swing, Batter, Swing !
Thanks for you suggestions, Christine. I was trying to fill the frame with action, but I do see your point, and I did crop the left and top of the frame, so I will definitely go back and make another crop with more room in the direction of the pitcher.
