[mamarazzi_hrd]

Hi, I am new here! Here are a few from my son's baseball game last Thursday!

What a cutie!!
Welcome to the forum!!

I'm a bit AWOL from TPF just now, I am way too busy working on these

885 photos of Day 1 of the swim meet have been processed already, data handed over to the person who will put them onto the server of the pool, Day 2 is in the process of being processed. There will be over 1000 photos in the end, I'm afraid. :roll: Downloadable in this size (as seen above) by anyone, hence the large watermarks.

I haven't been to this forum since last October! Where has the time gone?

Me and the missus shoot a minor-league NASCAR series so sports photography is right up our alley. I concentrate mostly on single-car shots while she does the whole 'event' thing starting with crews prepping cars to the race itself to victory lane. She doesn't happen by here so she won't post any of her own stuff, but trust me, it's far better than what I come up with myself.

But here's some samples from the last couple races:

We're far from professional although we have contracted with a handful of teams on the series to provide them with pictures after each race.. guess that's a step in the professional direction but it certainly isn't paying its own way.

The thrill of victory

and, The agony of defeat

How 'bout this one of my daughter's flying side-kick when she was testing for her 2nd degree Tae Kwon Do black belt (Yes, that 11 year old's foot is pulverizing that board)?

Very cool!

And here's her twin brother in similar mode ... It's not safe to be a pine board anymore ...

I especially like this one.

Might I ask with what kit have you been snapping these? And do you recall a general shutter speed, f/stop, ISO?

 

[johngpt]

Keith, that thrill of victory shot was perfectly timed.

I love the angle of this shot! Way to go!!

The thrill of victory

I like how clear this shot is, he just looks like he is patiently waiting to come back down to earth.

Wow, Nice shot, way cool!

Great shots. I love the angle of the first one, and the drama of the second.:mrgreen:

I want to thank everyone for participating in this assignment. You are all doing a fantastic job and it is a thrill to open up this thread every day. Thank you.

Here's a few photos I scrounged up!

We fit a little more than usual onto a base in belly-baseball...

 

[johngpt]

designjordi, are those your skis we see at the bottom of your snow boarder photo? Nice timing!

Great expressions on your friends on base.

And I've always been a sucker for the texture of rocks and pebbles.
