Softball

a few from a recent college softball game -- shooting from behind the fence, not easy to get the action shots!

(with a Canon 60D)

I'm not used to softball pics , I'm (accept cycling) not realy a sports fotographer. I' d love to see some exifs. All the action is frozen, isn't it nicer to get a hint of movment?

While this is alot of personal preference, and this is artwork and therefore highly subjective you don't ever see any motion blur in professional sports photos (Sports illstrated, etc). For certain sports some motion blur is nice (motocross for blurred wheels, etc), however I think that the overwhelming majority of professional sports shooters and magazine editors prefer crisp, frozen action. The emotion of the photos comes from capturing the peak of the action and the emotion on a players face, IMHO.

There is always room for experimentation, and this is just my opinion so take it for what it's worth.

all those were shot at 1/2500, f5.6 - sports like baseball, soccer, field sports, etc. are more about freezing the action than using a slow shutter speed to show "motion" (which can be done but more difficult!)
