3.12.08.jpg

361/366

The goal with these shots is getting the ball in the in the frame, with the pitcher behind it.
This proves to be more difficult in softball as they pitch from the same level as the batter/catcher and the ball comes from down low.
I was able to get this shot from the side, but I might have to be a little elevated to get it from a frontal view. I guess we'll see.
Anyway, one more below.

That is a great shot of the ball and the pitcher....how did you ensure that the ball would be in focus given the distance/focus?
