My passion in photography

Making the Catch - Here the Catcher is making the catch of a foul ball. The ball was hit up behing the catcher but still in the field of play. He lost trach of the ball momentarly and when he located it it was behind him. He bent back to make the catch and fell backwards. I caught him just as he left his feet. He made the catch and was not hurt. After walking around to catch his breath he was ready for the next batter.

I was using a Canon Rebel with a Tamron 28-200 zoom lens.

The beauty of photography is that we each see things differently and we can use our creative insight to create a thing of beauty. Some people like to photograph landscapes or flowers, while other like wild life or people. My real passion in Photography is sports action. I will spend a day at a sports tournament or an evening at a singel game. I usually shoot between 100 and 200 photos a game. At each event I hope to to capture 5-10 photos to submit to the newspaper for them to use one in the paper. And my big hope isthat a parent will want to buy one of them from me. I am semi retired so I can follow my passion in photography and enjoy it and not worry about making a living at it. Check out this photo from a Baseball tournament.
