@CosmicCruiser -- I have been asking Marty for bottle of his magic pixie dust that he liberally sprinkles on youth sports photos for years. He won't give it up. He is a magician.
Great Stuff Marty. You inspire me every time I see your stuff.

Every time I start to think I'm making progress I shoot some volleyball. Keeps me humble.
Ain't that the truth brother!! And you done good with the V-Ball anyway!
Good to see ya keeping busy and some great images in the set... nice work. Love the eyes in the last one. Page right out of Mikey Mack's book I think. Thanks for sharing!
Just started shooting volleyball, and the 7D + 70-200 f/2.8 IS II combo has been decent, images nowhere near as clean as yours though...the lighting is pretty crappy where I've been shooting. I can't even claim to be an expert, but I've had pretty good luck by watching for the dig, set, spike/kill combo near the net. Then again I've been shooting for my university and these girls look a bit younger so I'm guessing they aren't getting the same height as this athlete here
Also, maybe it's just personal preference, but I really love the drama that a slightly slower shutter speed ads
Marty - need to re-title to A bunch of damn good images! #15 is simply ... WOW. Can relate to the volleyball challenges as I have shot several games this year and still haven't figured it out.
