108/365 - POTD - At Bat [Motion]

Today's baseball practice focused on batting, something both Brian and George are fairly competent at.

George practically hit every ball that Coach Scott pitched to him.

Good cut, Brian (I have NO idea what a "cut" is, it's just what people say about the batters when they swing).

I had to shoot through the chain link fence. I used my 70-300mm VR lens, so I had to zoom in in an attempt to blur that fence. Next time, I'll use my other lens, and place myself closer to the fence. That should help. (Tonight, I was too lazy to get off the bleacher).

    Love the way his eyes look closed in the first shot. I like the way the fence blurred out--makes a cool texture.

    Your focus is so unreal! It is has if you stopped time. I really love that you captured, not just the motion, but the expression too. Amazing.
