Packing Heat

Good one...
I like the angle you took...great shot!!

 

You nailed the exposure. Kid is in the shade, outfield still in sunlight. And you didn't overexpose the outfield. Great shot! I'm green with envy.

 

Wow, now that is a nice shot. The image has it all and what great bokeh. You definately nailed that shot Ty....excellant.

 

Yeah, super angle on the shot, Ty. Looks like he's bearing down right on top of you. Great bokeh on the shot too.

 

I love it. What a great shot. You can tell he's really driving the pitch with his legs by how far he's stepping toward home. His left thigh is parallel to the mound and right knee is almost touching it! I bet he's got a nice high leg kick too.

If possible, a burst angled from the 3rd base side could be one that would really highlight his impressive mechanics.

 

Ty, this is a great shot. Non-photographers will look at shots like these and just think they are nice. Photo geeks like us really appreciate the skill involve in properly exposing this shot. You nailed it!!

 

Woo Hoo! That's my alma mater. I graduated in June 1960 (a long time ago in a galaxy far far away!). In those days it was an all boy school of about 5000 students. During my freshman year it was not uncommon to have fist fights in the halls. Lane would usually win a lion's share of the public school city championships because of the large pool to draw from. My senior year the front line of the football team averaged 210# end to end and 232# tackle to tackle (incredible back then). The city Championship between the publlic schools (Lane Tech) and the Catholic Champion was held at Soldier's Field and had an attendance of over 104,000. A great time to be a teen ager!

Thanks for bringing back some pleasant memories.

Nice intensity --youi caught it well

 

Great shot Ty

 

Excellent shot!

 

Great action, you nailed it. I'm having alot of fun trying my own hand at baseball, the only thing I see that you could improve upon is exposure, since the outfield is so bright, your metering to balance that and the pitcher which leaves your subject about a whole stop underexposed. You're gonna have to blow the bg to get him properly exposed, but it'll be well worth it.

 

Just great only thing I woudl offer is to clone out the shortstop from the shot his blwn pants keep pulling my eye towards it but the color sharpness and intesity is just perfect

 

did you shoot through the fence ? ... it looks GREAT man

 

I would be too, seems youre a natural with the timing. These parks can be a hassle with metering and shade, and sun, it's all a headache haha.

 

If you would, adjust the exposure so that your subject is properly exposed, and post that for comparison. This shot is a good bit too dark to be shown.
