A little kids baseball...

I'm one of the coaches for my son's 10 and under team so I tend to shoot even more shots. Here are some shots from their last game.

Nice!

love them.. good job

Very nice. What lens were you using?

#2 is the money shot!

FYI, in my experience red uniforms and bright sun make it look like the saturation is jacked up to crazy high levels, giving that over saturated look. I have found that turning the saturation down a bit can make the reds look a little more natural and realistic.

Now if you are a big fan of the pumped up saturation with glowing reds well, then these look great. If it were me I'd test a few shots with the saturation turned down a bit, you might like it better.

I'm with you. I like extra saturation but will probably tune it down a bit before printing--I sell photobooks to the parents at the end of the season.

Thanks for everyone's comments. I love shooting sports. Problem is earning money doing it...

70-200 f2.8L--my go-to lens.

Thanks for looking!

Being a baseball coach and having had many lessons, the batters that you pictured are all having issues with dropping their back shoulders. which drops the bat, and causes pop-ups. I guarantee if you work with them on keep their hands back BEFORE the pitch comes, they'll be hitting better and more consistently. (I coach 6-14 year olds currently). Sometimes they start it by dropping their back knees.

Nice pictures though. Lucky to have good daylight.

Interesting you mention this. I actually use photos like these to illustrate certain finer points of various techniques to the kids. I use these kinds of hitting photos to show the dropping shoulder (as you mentioned). I guess great minds think alike.

Our home field is facing west so we get nice light for for about half the game for our 7:00 games this time of the year.
