Just a few from a game Saturday. Crappy start time of 1pm in bright sunny conditions. Not too happy with my post. Been a while since I have shot baseball. Been too busy doing corporate shoots lately and just have not had a lot of sports shooting time...

looks like you handled the exposures in the bright sun nicely. Shooting manual? I've have cropped 1 vertical and closer. Nice set. Good to see a post from you.

the ball in the first one gets a bit lost, the second is a much better shot, with the dirt flying and the look of determination on the face of the base runner.

I don't mind the empty space on the left of the batter, I think it gives a nice point of reference for the viewer, but I would crop out the spooky glove on the right.

2 is OK

I like 3 a lot - just seems like that runner is twitching to take off.

4 is terrific too but I'd go tighter on the crop

All of them have nice color and you must have done something to keep the shadows off their faces, which is nice. The images look a little "rough" to me though, but I can't quite figure out why i think that. (I'm not on my calibrated monitor though, so if it's just me, I apologize)

There's something about non-MLB baseball that just feels good, nice set.
