This ball crossed the focus point and the camera focused on the ball. The

Great stuff, at this point I can only hope for that many opportunities in my lifetime.

Hard work and dedication does lead to sucess most of the time. Congrats!

Great stuff.

That isn't Little League World Series though. Some other tourney perhaps?

Thanx. It's not THE Little League World Series but the name of this tournament did include Little League World Series.

Good idea Albert. Very strong set of images, 2008 was a good start for you and 2009 will be even better. Good luck, see you at the Cotton Bowl?

Great collection of sports images. What kind of glass were you using to shoot these pictures?

I went back and searched to see that you posted this from AAYBA World Series in Flower Mound.

World Series yes, Little League no. AAYBA is a "for profit" operation, and is not at all associated with the Little League organization. The AAYBA seems to be "good guys", puts on a good tournament, and their World Series format is a good way of sorting out the various teams into more evenly matched groups.

The Little League folks are very protective of their name, rightly so in my book. Theirs is a different intention than the various "competitive" sanctioning bodies. We very proudly put in a lot of blood, sweat, and tears keeping Little League alive in our town. We're into the wild world of select ball now, but I will always cherish our LL experience as something special.

Again, great work.

Thank you. The volleyball shots I believe I used an 85mm 1.4 for most of them. The rest were between a 70-200 2.8, 300 2.8, and 24-70 2.8

Thanx again.

Thanx Jim for all your help this year. I still owe you a lunch and a beer.

And yes, I will see you at the Cotton Bowl after all. Guns Up!

Nice work Albert and a good idea to show a years collection. I can narrow mine down real easy to one week. Oh well, I'll keep trying to find a way...

Thank you Roy I appreciate it. You know you gotta do what you gotta do to get ahead. It's about persistance and some luck. Just keep pushing forward.

Albert - super stuff! Cotton Bowl, here we come!

Wow I could only hope to one day be able to shoot at some of these events.

Great work!

Seriously, really good shots here. Very impressive.
