    Play at the plate!
    These are shots from my son's (the catcher) regional playoff game. The only issue is that I was shooting from behind the foul ball netting so there is a little ghosting of the net lines in the shots. The shots kind of go together so it's hard to pick which one to use.

    His left shoe is somewhere around 3rd base, as is his helmet.

    This is my son's team after they won a one-game 'play-in' to get to go to the state playoffs. He's the one on the bottom with the "2" showing and the catchers leggings.

    I don't think it qualifies as best, but this is one of my favorites, simply because it's my son and it tears at the heartstrings (he had a blister on his finger that had torn open):

    Jason I had a flash off on the rocks to his front left. The flash didnt fire but luckily I was underexposing to get the BG good. I shot raw so I duplicated the file and bumped up the exposure and stacked that with the darker image on top as a multiply layer. Then I brushed the rider and foreground out of the darkened image so it would be brighter.

    Can't decide.
    The photographer in me really likes this:

    But the bike racer in me really likes this:

    That strange, obsessive moment of the Time Trialist, at almost 50kph, zoned out, and focused on his power meter is something you have to be there to understand.

    Thanks. While I wouldn't want to go out without my 70-200, lately most of my favorite work has been with shorter length lenses. Pick a location right on the inside of a tight turn, and get as low and close as you can. I was almost flat on my back for this shot.

    It can work for road races and crits, as well, here by Michael Kirk:

    Obviously, a good flash helps. Another good location to shoot cycling with a short lens is on a decent hill....they're going slower and have that wonderful look of suffering on their faces. Once again the key is getting way down low--when climbing, cyclists tend to look down, and the helmet tends to block their faces on higher-angle shots.
