These are photos of my small town festival championship game for girls ages 6-9. This is my first ever attempt at taking photos of a sporting event. (sporting event loosely used) It to be honest was cute to watch these little ones swing their hearts out. The coach of the team has two of his own playing so I was actually given the okay to go out on the field to take these photos. I choose first base because that is where the coach told me I could see the most action. I would love to hear everyone's two cents so, feel free to beat me up. :thumbup:

You captured some really good action shots, there! The choice of first base position worked well.

Thanks! It was fun to do. I have to admit that capturing them almost hitting the ball was tricky. I was trying to time it out so that I would capture an image right as the bat hits the ball. I never did get that type of image.
