Softball

This week I had the pleasure of photographing my first softball game. I made a few mistakes but over all I am very happy with the way my pictures tuned out. In the first three images only the first one was taken during the game. The other two were taken in between innings while they were warming up.

And here is where my mistakes took place. One of the most important things in sports photography is capturing the faces showing the intensity of the athelete. And as you can see I did not do this in these last two shots. She was playing first base when playing the field so I positioned myself just passed the dugout on the third base side. Now I read MANY times that for shooting batters if they are right handed you should be in the same area as I was for shooting her in the field only I should have been on the first base side of the field. Now I will definately remember this for the next time.

Thanks for looking
