    Pitcher facial expressions

    Okay....going from OT's shots....and talking about facial expressions...which by the way does fit into the "Mommy factor"...LOL...I have been a lot of school and little league games the past couple of weeks, and this was a Little League Softball game I did yesterday... The pitcher doesn't have a very pretty face when she pitches, even though it is hard to see past the mask she wears.....This team went to State's last year, and was one game from winning it all....

    This park is the hardest I have had to shoot from, the fence runs to the back of the dugouts, so there isn't any way to get on the side and get facial shots while they are batting...so this one is through the fence...along with the slide.....but the best I could do.

    Nice work Betty. Many LL park are very hard to shot at. Looks like you did a good job working around the obstacles.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    I'd never know you had hard angles and such obstacles. Nice work Betty!
    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    Re: Pitcher facial expressions

    Thank you everyone....
    Yeah Jeta...it wasn't the easiest shoot, that is for sure...I guess I am spoiled with our school field...you can stand right at the end of the dugout, and have a perfect view of homeplate....

    You are selling your other camera???

    Yes, selling my baby. I just love the thing, but it's been sitting almost a year in the box so figured it was time.
