Triple A ball...

it's all about the love of the game. It was a great Sunday afternoon to get out and enjoy watching them play. (It helps that they won too.). All of these were taken with a 7D on TV at 1/1000, auto ISO. Processing was just a WB setting and pressing auto on the basic panel, set the camera profile and cropped.

1) Relief pitcher.

2) A hit for the catcher.

3) Outfielder getting in on the action.

4) Rock and fire.

I should take time to go to more baseball games. I love the AAA venues.

Nice set Ron, some great timing there.

Thanks John. It was fun. I found my timing got better and better as we went into the later innings.

Good timing. I'd think about the framing. In the first one I'd probably have brought the camera down a little lower (and you taller than me guys maybe have to be even more aware of it). I'd rather see more foreground than headless people above the empty seats. In #2 and 3 same thing, I try to avoid getting edges (like of the dugout), either get it in the shot enough to see what it is or frame a little lower and keep that out altogether. #4's a nice one.

To me if something isn't adding to the picture then I want it out of the frame as much as possible. Maybe making copies and trying a little cropping of some would help clean them up (doesn't look like they need much) but maybe not, you might end up losing the top of the helmet.

I find in sports there are always posts and poles and trash cans etc. and I try to notice and frame being aware of that so those things are where I want them to be in the frame or out of my picture or at least minimized. It just takes a lot of practice I think. You seem to be on the right track.
