Outstanding and awe-inspiring as usual Mike, and yes, I'm learning from you just by watching, it's appreciated.

 

[topher04r1]

Looking good mike .... 2, 4, 5, 8 are really outstanding man !!! ....im curious though as to how you have such little shadows ..... did you hit that special time of day or something ?

 

[eng45ine]

I thought that I have already seen your best, but these are breathtaking. Where exactly did you stand to capture the first shot? Was this a safety shot or was this taken during actual play?

 

[Randy]

oh stop already, you are killing me
these are too good, seriously

 

[GBRandy]

Yea...I agree with Randy. Give the rest us a break! At first they are great to look at, but after awhile they become positively demoralizing

In all seriousness, that is some great work...your ability to consistently turn in this quality is nothing short of amazing.

 

[snownow]

Damm, those are nice. Stunning shots with great light! #9 two thumbs up

 

[greyflash]

Mike these are simply outstanding. You have caught such neat expressions and of course you photography is first rate. Way to go.

 

[Gale]

Outstanding is right
You get better and better and better. Not sure how, cause all you sports pics are impeckable.

Your timing and great eye is fantastic.

I love 6 , he has a great look of confidence and the last one should sell a bunch.
All are great.. they must sell a ton of your images Mike:>)))))

 

[Mason]

Woooow

Mike, you always look like you are shooting at the right time of day, with all the other things that add up to the occasional good shot that the rest of us get from time to time when all goes well! Your colors are always outstanding (color is something I don’t have a very good grasp of). You are also very humble, but if you held a mentoring session over a long weekend, I bet several of us would be there! And that’s not a hint, just a complement (but seriously…if you ever decide to do something like that…let me know :biggrin


:910:

 

[Bigmuddy]

Alright Mike, enough of these fantastic shots already...:biggrin:

Your making my mouth water. I love #9!

 

[BostonRott]

Refresh my memory.....how do you meter these shots?

I happen to love the group shot, an absolute classic!! :biggrin:

hi Gretchen, Mike was kind enough to share his specs in this other post: https://www.nikoncafe.com/vforums/showpost.php?p=1297096&postcount=18

 

[BostonRott]

Thanks Chris! That is now saved as a Word document on my computer.

 

[biggstr6]

Top Notch Mike.

 

[mike mac]

Again thanks all for looking and the kind words, as I browse the posts here at the Cafe, our sports section rivals any of the other well know posting sites on the web.

I think we owe a big thanks to all who have shared their shots and techniques with all the members here , I know for one I have learnt so much from the Café user community

 

[jklofft]

Mike,

I love your sports work. Keep it coming, I'm learning a ton for view your work. One question, where do you like to position yourself when shooting BB or SB. Thanks.

 

[amanita]

Come on, you must be joking! Posting images here like these, just for us, for free?

I take my hat off to you!

 

[Shooter]

Great shots bought back memory's of little leauge thanks.
