    Cougars #27 Jose Pineda scores the fourth Cougars run of the second inning as Peoria's #12 Olin Wick misses the catch in Geneva Tuesday night.

    How to tell the most experienced shooter in a group? They have the least amount of toys on them.

    Oooooooh! I like it. I dont know if it was an accident, luck, or supreme photog skills but the fact the ball is in the backgroundreally makes the shot for me. It just sums up the entire series of events without having to have been there.

    I need to start trying to shoot HS sports. If only school would start!

    Awesome catch Seb. Love the frozen ball. You have a very low angle on this shot where were you shooting from?
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Thanks guys.

    The shot was total, utter, luck. I was focusing on first/second base (shooting next to dugout) when I saw him run for home. I swung around, hit the focus button, hit the shutter, and got this. This is the first shot of two.

    Nice shot.... As others have said, the ball in the background really sums up the events. What equiptment were you using? Shutter/ISO/ect as well?? I am practicing with my new camera and am looking for some info for thoughts...
