Lookin good, John. I'm glad to see you're back on the baseball scene.

It looks like I'll be able to shoot some baseball tomorrow.

They look great! I love that you put your settings with the pics. It's very helpful to me.

Do you have more pics of the pitcher? WOW! I'd love to see more of him.

I was just showing my son the pic that has the pitcher in it. He wants to see more too!
