Baseball, two shots from yesterday

[chrishunt]

Two of the shots from yesterday. I find it hard to capture original shots in baseball. It seems like every play is the same :confused:

Nice shots. I like the first one, the ump looks like he is going to throw you out of the game.

Nice, which lens did you use, the 200 or 300?

Nice pitcher shot.... I like the just before release. The nice thing about shooting pitchers is they give you plenty of opportunity to get it right. This one feels really comfortable.

Most of Chris' pictures have EXIF info. According to the EXIF, he used 70-200 @ 200mm.

Both are great shots, good timing.

Amorous is correct. I used the 70-200 for these shots.

Thanks Mark. It's been raining for so many of the games and I've been trapped under a little 5 foot temporary roof between home and 1st. It was cool to be able to leave the roof today and shoot from behind the batter for a little bit.

Both are great shots, good timing.

Thank you. As Mark said, I had all the time in the world to get these right :)
