My daughter putting an end to the third inning. I didn't know that my wife (pink hat) and son were in the background until I saw the image on my computer, making this my catch of the day as well. Panthers win again!

Colleyville, Texas
D70s

You even got the ball in the picture, nice catch.

Pretty girl, as well as a pretty catch... and a catcher... tough girl.. :)

Gotta get her to pose for you, too.

You should have had her turn a little more towards the camera.... lol Great shot!!

Not only did you get the ball in the shot, you also caught her helmet either bouncing or not hitting the ground yet after she pulled it off... great timing!

Just another one of Texas' pretty girls whooping up on the opposition!

Where were you to get such an angle?

LOL, it was hard enough to get my assistants to throw the ball and the helmet into the frame at just the right moment.

Thanks.

ahaha! Luck always plays a huge factor in these types of shots for me! You captured all the critical things when I get extremely lucky just to capture one!

Thanks. I see a little kicked up dirt under the helmet, so I think it must have bounced back up.

Here it is on the way down:

Another idea I am playing with for this sequence of shots:

Howdy Dane,

Great series, as always the colors and sharpness is right on the money!! I see you and the D70S are becoming friends.

It was cool to get the rest of the Family in there as a bonus!!
