BOB WITH Faces! - Baseball

Tried to focus a bit more on getting frames of batters with the ball in the image. BOB shots don't always include good face shots, but I got lucky and caught a few BOB with eyes and faces in shot. See what you think. EXIF attached. This was our Pee Wee (11-12) Championship game. Full set of 120 or so images at http://www.cjscons.com​/ghbaseball/jun21

These are very good Christian. Perfect "timing" on No 3 but I love the expression of potential pain in No 6. Keep up the great work!

great shotes, number 6 is classic!

thanks for your helpfull feedback!

#6... BOB means boy on ball, right? great capture.

LOL! or ball on boy! Thanks. This was just after his mom had asked me to make sure I got some shots of him. Not sure that this was the type of shot she was looking for though!

Great shots, Christian!


I just posted some shots from my 13-year old's tournament this weekend that I made with my brand new 40D. Some of those kids are pitching close to 70 mph. I'm lucky if the ball's even in the frame!

Thanks Ron! Yes I have found that it is all about getting the timing on the shutter correct. Basically if I want to get good batter shots, I am usually looking for timing just after contact. For BOB shots, I need to start snapping just as ball is about 3/4 way to the plate and of course use a high enough shutter speed to "stop" flight. Keep shooting and you will get it!

Nice shots. When I get a BOB, the face is usually tipped down.
