Default That Action Shot I've Been Trying To Capture...

After hundreds of tries, I finally got the ball right at the bat. Also, I'd thought I'd share a couple more that I really liked in color, but even better when I changed them to black and white. Thanks for looking!

Great Series. I like them all, but the one of the coach, (Ump?) is timeless. Very nice job

Agree - the 2nd one with the coach is excellent. The BW treatment and the fact that you can't see what he's looking at really add intrigue to the shot.

These are just wonderful. I love the ball just moving away.

I so wish that I had had a camera when my kids were growing up. Sigh
