Gulf South Conference Basball - This shot was not planned and only contrast added.

Good timing!! If only the batter had a bit more headroom...
Looks like you shot through the fence but it actually adds a nice feeling to the picture, anyone agree?

It looks pretty indeed. I agree that a little headroom for the batter would be good.

How far were you from the fence?

[lauderdalems]

I was shooting from inside the pressbox - probably 15-20 feet from the net (in my case it was a net not a metal fence.)

that is wonderful timing.

forget head room this has to be the first shot Ive seen with the 'smoking fast-ball' effect. Perfect timing and nice composition.

little chalk in the mitt, maybe? gonna have my catchers give it a go, as it might add a smidge of intimidation.
