    Tim,

    Nice form by the midget! Easy to tell she's a player!

    Out of curiosity, do you find the parents are really interested in the batting action shots?

    Yours are better than mine, but I started the season taking tons of batting action shots. Then I realized you can only have so many shots of a player hitting the ball or rounding a base before it becomes just like the last 10 shots. So I changed my strategy on batting photos to get more of shots like (hopefully you won't mind me posting an example):

    and the parents seemed to really like the tight shot. I now will take one or two sequences of batting action, but try to devote most of my action shots to plays in the field or at a base.

    Just curious as to what you find the most popular.

    I really liked your #4 and #7. Outstanding and it looks like the sun might still have been pretty harsh, which makes them even better.

    nice example, just set a black point and teh shot will come to life!

    I do a little of everything. I go tight on one game, loose the next.

    Not only do the parents get bored of the same ole shots, so do I! I find the automatic seller is the ball on bat so at least every other game I chase these...

    Thanks for the tip! I'm not selling anything currently and have been posting almost everything that wasn't completely unusable. Since I'm posting say 250 pics for the parents, I haven't been doing any post-processing.

    I will only post good shots. Some games that is 50. some it is 300. Only post your best... Every shot I upload gets cropped and sharpened at least....

    Out of curiosity Tim, are you shooting RAW? I haven't moved up to that step yet, but if I do start selling, I certainly will.

    Nope, only raw for sports when the light is confusing. I shoot jpg 98% of the time, unless they are formal portraits....

    I used to shoot raw all the time, but this save some time and space (over 100,000 pics on my hard drive....)
