...some friends asked me to "bring the big camera" to shoot the State Championship game of the Louisiana Dixie 12 year olds. So I put together a flyer and got my son to assist me with signing people up. Man, that is hard work for one person! I never took it for granted, but I will definitely bring the following: kneepads, towel, water, and maybe a batting glove so I don't sweat all over my gear!

I respect you guys for what you do. Even made a little money!

Edit: I have added a set or two of some of the shots. Just .jpg for now, have the originals at home on my laptop. May upload for Exif later....





PIC 1







PIC 2 - Drag bunt







PIC 3 - Drag bunt result







PIC 4 - The go ahead HR!

Congratulations! That little money you made? At least frame your first dollar. Every dollar you make with your camera from here on will ultimately go toward buying new gear and figuring out how to finance a 400MM 2.8 lens. And the rest of your free time will be spent here trying to figure out how to monetize your hobby.

@PureMichigan ... ! Ain't it the truth!

Gabby8 - These are great shots. Thanks for posting! What lens/body combo did you use?

Thanks! I feel like I am getting better. Trying to apply some of the points I learn here from you pros! I used a Canon 1D4 with a 70-200 f/2.8 IS 1.

Updated with Efix, and thank you PureMichigan for the tip on eliminating shadows in LR.
