Baseball? Kids playing with a tennis ball and wearing no hats -- now where's the challenge in that? Just kidding mate -- excellent exposures, tack sharp, nice angles with great faces and eyes. Love #3 -- perfect caption too.

Jerry ~ Baseball is a game where only defensive players handle the ball and offensive players who hit successfully in only one third of their at bats are among the best in the sport.

My favorites are #3 and #8 (both of the kids). These are so cute. Would love to know your technique on catching these.

Cheers Jerry! It's the closest I've got to 'proper' baseball :lol: At least the bats look real enough!

Cheers gaz. It was indeed f/8... just a bit of tweaking with the DOF preview button to get reasonable sharpness from one wicket to the other.

Thank you Pat. With the kids, I just shot as tight as I could without cropping off the bat and found an angle to get a nice clean background... the rest was down to the kids themselves!
