Challenge:At Work (Classic Editing) Collection:Baseball Camera:Minolta DiMAGE 7 Location: Veterans Stadium, Philadelphia PA Date: Jun 21, 2003 Aperture: F/3.5 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/500 Galleries:Sports, Action Date Uploaded: Jun 22, 2003
Wonderful capture of a stolen base. The image is crisp and clean, focus being good for the obcious distance away you were, and a good dof used. The shutter speed used for this was perfect looks like the motion is stopped rather than having blurry feet.
The baseline pulls the eye into the main subject of the two players, but personally I believe showing more of the baseline and less of the area to the right would have made this an outstanding photo. The only other thing to do that might have made this photo better is cropping closer to the players. loosing part of the dust cloud on the right and then equal amounts from the top and bottom.
Overall this is a really good photo and it definately meets the challenge. Well done.
Nice capture of motion - very crisp. I like the way you've given a portion of the picture over to the dust, so that the eye tracks along the same path he followed to the base.
Clever title and nice sports action. I don't mind motion blur, but to me it should be obvious that it is motion blur, so the Boston player to me should be more in focus. Still, i like this work a lot.
I think a tighter crop may make this photo a bit more interesting - the expanse of grass in the upper 1/2 of the picture is just too much I think. Otherwise, a good photo, and the title adds a bit of humor.
