Took a personal shot at a baseball gig this weekend.

The technique was dicussed over in the sports forum on FM so I thought I would try it out....

Yes, you surely pulled it off well. I can't find the FM discussion, but I remember seeing it.

Seen that before but never tried it - what's the link to the FM board? I rarely visit there anymore but probably should check it out again.

Very cool....can you share the technique? How do u focus? How slow can you go with the shutter and still pull it off?

Nice but bg is too dark for my taste. Paul's shot on FM forum is perfect with superb lighting. Here the player is blurry for some reason and his body parts are not clear.

I think the narrow DOF and OOF player was done on purpose here.

I agree with Bobby. I don't like the background being so dark. I like the idea though.

Yeah...the OOF player is on purpose...as is Pauls. I will admit Paul's location was lit better...but the day my shots are better than Pauls will be a happy day indeed....
