The 9th frame a bit out of focus, she almost had the ball knocked out of her hand by a teammate http://www.viewthroughmylens.net/Galleries/Thunder/Softball/2010/VsRainyRiver/ThunderSoftballVsRainyRiver21copy.jpg link since it's the 9th photo.

She's gonna have some sore elbows. Those are so annoying to try and hold onto.
Great series.

[Big Hands]

Nice capture. Thanks for sharing!

These are great......I am sure everyone will enjoy them.

[DHMN]

They're a little blown out.. I know (since someone will figure it out) :) Went from 1/3200 ISO 500 to 1/1000 at ISO 1600 for the final shots of the game (All the game shots) (http://www.viewthroughmylens.net/Galleries/Thunder/Softball/2010/VsRainyRiver.html)...and that was with the sun occasionally showing up through the heavy overcast.

The lady on the cell phone in the 4th-8th probably never even noticed in front of her.. reminds me of shots people share from NHL games .. on the phone not noticing the game in front of them.

What a great series of expressions!

Great sequence. Good job of shooting through the action!

[asysin2leads]

Nice set.

[Alikat]

great sequence!

[MikeFairbanks]

Nice shots. What was the call by the umps?

[CatchingUp]

excellent job!

[DHMN]

They called it out, correctly...
The 9th picture .. in case someone hasn't clicked that link...I think the runner crossing is where the focus disappeared.

Awesome sequence. Really nice job of staying on task until the catch was made!

Nice job of staying on the finger!

ha ha .... no matter where you look, somebody always has one of those things stuck to their head.:rolleyes:

[SquareOne]

Awesome set! Way to keep on that shutter!

[warrior6901]

Great sequence. Look a tad overexposed with some blow out, but action is great.

[DHMN]

Yeah.. there is some overexposure on them.. it was one of those overcast days where the sun would come out for a couple pitches then go away.. so I just left the camera where it was until it really started getting dark.

[Tvw]

You and the 50D did a great job!

[lettershop]

thank god for continuous shooting cameras

[eigga]

#4 is the keeper IMO ...with a good caption it would make me look back several times at the picture in a story...great capture! Im not saying the rest are bad at all, but learning which image is THE image in a sequence is very hard sometimes.

That can be fixed quite easy in post...right?

[DavidDor]

Really neat to see that.

Great series!
