 A beautiful day at Safeco Field gave me this shot. I tried to stand as directly behind Home Plate as possible to get this shot. I wanted to capture all those involved (Pitcher, Batter, Catcher, Umpire). Ichiro here safely reached first base.

Good action shots. I've had to shoot through these nets before, and have found that the closer you can get the better it will blur out the net.

Hmm, is this the shot I saw in the forums where someone was asking how to get rid of the netting? Heheh. Nice shot, well composed. The netting doesn't ruin it for me. Nice work, 5.

Surprisingly, the net on the foreground makes this shot even more interesting;
Nice action capture;
