I'm playing catchup without the glove...did sneak a look in my lunch hour but barely kept my eyes open to eat dinner much less do my pbase rounds.....great image Karen.

Don't recognise the sport ;-)... looks like Rounders. Excellent action shot, though :)
Guest 06-May-2005 11:24
Wow is this really only at 70mm? You must have been dangerously close. The guy to the right really completes the picture.
Guest 06-May-2005 06:26
Nice stop action at 1/1000 second. The detail is great.

Duck! I get it! (Glad there's so many people to help point it out to me.) This is an awesome capture, all around.
(um, but isn't that a goose? Quite all right, actually; don't want to see the baseball equivalent of that , thanks very much...)

Ever thought of taking up sports photography.
Pedro Libório05-May-2005 16:52

ball! great shot.
Chris Sofopoulos05-May-2005 09:55
Beautiful shots Karen. I like the colours. And this duck is perfectly captured!
Yesterday I tried to upload the same shot in two versions, one b&w and one in sepia. But I couldn't find a way to put them together in the sane page like yours. Can you help me? Thanks beforehand.

This is so sharp! Super shot. Spring is here.

Perfect timing!

Very nice... I see you're having fun with your new lens. The photos are nice and sharp. Were you right on top of the battery here? Love your angle on this.
sschex05-May-2005 02:31
This is exposed perfectly. Good moment.
Guest 05-May-2005 02:00
Such excitement and tension captured in this image ... love the player lurking to the right of the screen! :)
Guest 05-May-2005 01:49
Man, I wondered if this was the headless batter for a minute! Great catch. Er, catch by you, not catch by the catcher - nevermind!

1/1000sec, eh? How R U liking that new lens???
petesie05-May-2005 01:47
Duck! Great one, Karen.
Robin Reid05-May-2005 01:28
LOL... great catch.
Coleen Perilloux Landry05-May-2005 01:18
Love this baseball pitcher. The catcher gave you such a nice subject.
Guest 05-May-2005 01:11
Perfect catch the catcher did well also!
My favorite sport, very nice looking scene Karen.
Elaine (etfitz)05-May-2005 00:49

Excellent, Karen. I love how they're all lined up, one behind the other.
