Okay, so I'm not an artiste with a lens... I'm more like an amateur Photojournalist. Here are a few examples taken today...

...and yes, baseball is a major subject for me...

Today being Mother's Day, many major leaguers used special equipment in support of the Susan G. Komen foundation. Here, Kevin Kouzmanoff of the San Diego Padres swings a pink bat...

Okay, uncropped and raw photos... resized so they can be uploaded only. This is a sequence in a double play. Khalil Greene has fielded the ball and flipped it underhand to Marcus Giles, who now has to field it with Scott Rolen barreling in on him. These photos are a great example of why I laugh when told Baseball is a non contact sport...

Recieve the ball and spin...

Throw it on a line and make the runner slide to avoid getting hit in the head with the ball...

...and deal with the result as Rolen takes you out and you pay the price for a successful double play turn. A nice job by Marcus Giles and a three photo sequence that made me happy.

Nice photos! I thought this one:

was the best of the series of three, because you have the potential of contact there, but it isn't imminent - and the figures of the baseman and the runner are aligned so that he is actually turned towards him, which makes for nice, classic angles - you can draw a line between them as the focal point, and that's nice.

Crop it to a portrait-shaped photo, including the curve in the dirt just atop and to the right of the baseman, and cutting out the fielder as he doesn't conform with angles, and you'd have a nice frameable piece for a sports fan, in my book.

Just a little ex-film student critique, anyway. :D
 
Those with a spider phobia should skip this...



I tried and tried to get a better shot of this big boy and capture the light on the web and the shimmering effect of the dew...


This was a web I spotted as I left for work one morning and grabbed my camera... The spider and web were quite large by SD standards... the spider's body alone was the size of my thumb.

(providing "space" for people to skip past this...)

The lighthouse photo makes me want to move there Bel and I love the spider/web. The baseball ones are very good but make me homesick. :rose:
 
eek spider.. BIG spider too :/

You did a good job at capturing the action on the sports pictures and the light house picture is great with the breaking waves in the back ground. :)
 
Nice pics. Love the one of the lighthouse. Thanks. What kind of camera are you using?
 
Devils Den, seen from Little Round Top. This is a view from the top of Little Round Top, scene of much of the most intense fighting of Day 2 at Gettysburg. It is approximately 500 yards to the rocky area called Devils Den. Confederate forces had taken that area. Sharpshooters of the day were effective at ranges roughly twice this. Confederate marksmen exchanged shots with Union marksmen throughout the day. The air was filled with lead and to leave one's meager cover on either side was often fatal.

Hey Bel... nice pic's.

I think I met that sea gull last weekend as Gentle and I boated the bay :)

Oh I miss California!

Thanks for the visual treat on a sleepless night :kiss:
