tigers little league warming up....

[chemisti]

What an absolutely wonderful image! Just love it! I like the clarity, the essence of early morning, the gradient blue in the sky, and the sunbeams.

Well done.

[roshani]

I shot some little league stuff this weekend and I wouldn't have even dreamed of taking such an image. That is really nice. I've got to think out of the box more.

I gotta go wide every now an then - sports shooters often get so caught up in tight and fast!

Good luck

[roshani]

jason - thx for the kind words.

chemisti - yup your right tight and fast has been the norm for me this season. I have a series of pictures from this season as I volunteered to shoot the season and create a photo book of the kids vs the standard team picture we normally do. Every game i learned something and got better, so the wide was at one game when I was just trying something different.

What a shot. The colors are just stunning! I too sometimes take the 10-22 out at games especially since I got my second body. 70-200 on my 40D and the 10-22 on my 30D I have had some real cool shots getting on the ground right by a base and shooting a wide shot (although none as good as this!)

[roshani]

thx for the comments patrick! two bodies now that would be nice! so you gave me a great though, never thought of getting down low, i.e. perhaps lying on the ground down the first baseline, might generate some really cool shots.......next season :-)

Love it. Great color and detail.

That is exactly what I did last year and it was at night. did the first base and home plate. Just gotta watch for wild pitches

really cool photo

[roshani]

thx chris!

[Rumbleman]

Is that photo doctored or is that color natural?

If it's natural... wow, thats drooling baseball weather. What a beautiful shot.

[roshani]

hey sean,

i processed it in photoshop (so yes doctored). I pumped up the saturation some, darkened the sky slightly, and added a bit of a vignett, which helped bring down the intensity of the sun, and enhance the rays a bit.

thx for the comments!

I like it a lot.
