"... I don't think I've consistently caught the energy of the game."
Seriously? Graham, for not ever even having watched the game, let alone shooting it, you captured some pretty decent starter frames! I see good action in most of these, and you even bagged a solid jube shot (celebration of a win).
Some general tips-
- Lots of good locations to shoot from, but behind 1st and 3rd bases offer some of the best chances for solid shots of infield action, with the added advantage of being in range for an outfield shot when it happens on your side of the field. Solid pitching images can be made from here, as well as directly behind the backstop (the fence or other type of barrier behind the catcher/umpire location).
- Strive to get the front sides of players, with eyes and balls (baseballs) in the frame.
- Peak action- this might take a little more game attendance to determine exactly what moment in a play is the high point. A quick Google of baseball images will give you a jump start on this, though.
- Safety- a flying baseball can inflict some serious bodily injury, even death. Be fully aware of where you are at all times, paying attention to the batter when a pitch is thrown.
Check out Paul Alesse's excellent tutorial on shooting youth league baseball- it pretty much applies to all levels of the game. Maybe someone here will post the link.
Keep at it, Graham, you've got a good eye and a great start.
