Pitching blur

Photographing pitchers is kind of my safety blanket when it comes to baseball. I know if there’s nothing else going on I can usually make a decent picture of the guy on the mound. Such was the case on Wednesday when I didn’t have time to wait for a double play or some fielding action because I was also working the photo desk. I dropped down to 1/30th of a second and stuck a focus point on the pitcher’s face to ensure it would be in focus as I followed him through his motion.

Cheyenne Regulators

A few weeks back, I had the opportunity to photograph the of folks who dress in old west period outfits and compete in shooting competitions using six shooters, shotguns and rifles from the old west. At one point one of the regulators came up to me and asked if I wanted to shoot. “I already am,” I said as I showed him my Canon 5D.
