p.1 #1 · Safe at Second (little league)


Thought I would share the last of my shots for my sons season, they fell apart defensively and lost by 1.

I like the lighting, sharpness, and of course the Yankees logo, but I'd like the cropping to leave a little more room at the top. Plus, it looks as if the action is over. Better to capture the peak action.
Keep shooting and keep posting pictures.

Actually, I think this image would work if cropped tight.

For instance from the left side of the dust to the sliders hand and crop the infield out?

Don't have access to do a quick and dirty crop, but is that what you all had in mind?

@John

I have two shots in addition to this, one slightly before where the dust cloud wasn't quite there yet, and my son was not quite to the bag,

and one after which was slightly back focused on the shortstop going for the ball, so my son isn't quite as sharp.

I'm with Paul, I like it tight, and also think it might be neat in B&W, the backlighting would make for some neat contrast. I think it's a fine capture, a little late on the action maybe, but you've got his face and the dust flying means there's still enough action going on IMO

I do like the tighter crop better. I guess what bothered me was the SS/2B and the outfielder just standing there, but that's the nature of LL baseball. The tighter crop helps with that, and the slide capture is good.

yeah, these are 6 and 7 y/o's. Even when there is 'action' there really isn't much action to shoot.

I will do a B&W conversion and update this post tonight

Thanks for all the input guys.

Here we go. Did my own crop (thanks for the pointers Paul) and a B&W conversion with SliverEfx, then ran it through Dfine.

How's this work? Better?

Much better. As pointed out above this image is past the peak moment of action on the play. But it is still a very nice photo. It's attraction is the faces of the players, and their apparent interaction with each other, after the decision (the runner is out) has started to register on the two of them.
