BBC: UL -vs- Rutgers

[AdamLewis]

Well I finally got to shoot today just for myself so I was looking for stuff that was different or different angles. Im still pretty new to all this and Im not really happy with any of these but Im glad I got a chance to go take some more pictures. I definitely have a lot to learn.

Why did you post the seventh?

[danaitch]

You must be SO disappointed with those images. :p

[elysium]

Great timing on 6 and 7.

[AdamLewis]

Why did you post the seventh?

Why not?

EDIT: I should have been more specific. I really mean to ask, "Why do you think I shouldnt have posted it?"

[Aaagogo]

man... why is it that your games are in the day... and my crappy ass college has to play at night.

love 7th, completely different feel to the image with only the ball in focus.

i love the story told by #3, the lonely outfielder(hope i got the position right)

which spots where you shooting from Adam? and i hate you LOL

[docfav]

I love the 7th also. I think that is GREAT how you got the ball in focus and still and everything else in OOF. Something you don't see.

#6 is a great shot also. SOOO hard to get.

6 & 7 are awesome, how on earth did you manage to get just the ball in focus?

Hmmmm...if you have a lot to learn, it will be downright scary when you master the craft. Number 6 illustrates what Ted Williams and Rod Carew used to see from the batters box (yes, showing my age..youngin's look it up in Wikipedia :D).

[Anke]

Great images, I really like number 7. I agree, if you have a lot to learn, I'll see you on the front cover of SI soon.

[AdamLewis]

Thanks for the comments guys. Seems #7 is the standout favorite. Its not a very hard shot to produce. If you think about it, Im sure you can figure it out ;)

Adam - As a fellow MkIII owner who worked nearly a year to get the darn AF to function anywhere near properly, I'll bite. How did you get the ball in #7 :)

Hint: You could get that shot with your 10D or the worst functioning MkIII in the world.

[danaitch]

Pre-focus.

Obviously.

Er... right? ;)

[Aaagogo]

prefocus on a selected plane.

it's harder than getting the BOB, if not, the same, a lot of timing and a lot of luck.

btw Adam, what degree program are you in LV

[AdamLewis]

Heres day two. Like I said, Im going for different things so Im trying to stay away from the typical batter and pitcher shots.

Youre both right. You just need timing.

Im currently Physics but I think Im switching to CIS.

[Aaagogo]

haha, so we're even more alike, as in, we're both geeks...

i'm doing aerospace engineering and engineering physics...

keep shooting man, your work is just amazing and it's showing me that if you can do it, I should be able to also.

sports season is over for me, well at least no more home games, so I'll just have to look at your work.
