"Formal" Baseball Pictures

Even though the Spring Little League Baseball season is over, I though I would post these "formal" pictures of Brian and George:




The back story - way back in April, Formal Team and Individual pictures were scheduled to be taken on Opening Day. The days leading up to Opening day were wet and rainy, so several games were delayed by a couple of hours. The photographer, however, didn't stick around, so our Team (the Cubs) missed the Official pictures. Our coach set up a Makeup session, only for that session to be rained out as well.

Since I had taken several action shots of the team, I got volunteered for the job. Coach Dan even made sample Baseball trading cards using some of my previous pictures. We could get very nice Trading cards, Magazine covers and Team composites at a fraction of the price.

I had a ton of fun setting up the tripod, getting some props (although the long grass makes it hard to see the ball) and posing the kids - they were great to shoot. And yeah, I used my new 24-70mm f2.8 lens (so I could feel like a pro).
