Excellent series, Randy. looks like you had great seats. I love #2 and #3 that shows the shortstop,ball, and the base runner.

Amazing captures....fast camera and even faster cameraman.

they don't draw many for day games and I only go to day games so it works out where I can sit anywhere I want
I forgot how good AAA was after shooting HS & College for the last month...these guys can play the game

These are awesome shots!!! Bummer the Sox lost. :tongue: Home opener today in less than 8hrs!! YAHOO!!! :biggrin:

How far back were you? In the stands or did you have some sort of credentialling to get you in closer?

Is this played at that stadium that has the big baseball water tower?

 

[mike mac]

Well it helps that the photgrapher is fast also

i sat 2 rows up from the field between home & 1st...
My press pass is for HS sports so i can't get on the field but I'd rather sit where I did than stand on the field.
For hs bb i can stand on the field but it worries me and wears me out

Yes, this is in Rock Hill SC, where they have the giant BB
I never knew it was a water tower tho

Hmmm.....that could be an invalid assumption on my part (that it's a water tower). I've been by it many times (my parents live down in Fort Mill) and I just "assumed" it was a water tower (b/c many such structures up here are). Sorry! :redface:

if you don't need vr the sigma is a good alternative and used they go for 500 or so
