This kid's glasses and facial expression just had me rolling.
|
Does this remind anyone of TCC's Big A?
|
This is Reilley. A little tough to see without enlarging ... but he's got his eyes completely closed! I said Reilley, you have to keep your eyes open when you swing! He said "Dad, I was blinking!" He did hit the ball, and this is actually after he hit it ... but still ...
|
This one looks like it may have been slightly out of the strike zone!
|
|
Look at the determination on the face of these youngsters. Even at ages 7 and 8 you can see how expressive they can be.
|
|
This is our coach's son. Check out HIS face in these next 3 frames! Hilarious.
|
|
|
This one just cracked me up. An Ichiro wannabe. This kid was wearing his shades backwards, and when he turned to look for the ball, and these glasses were staring at me ... well, I just had to snap.
|
I'm not sure what this look is! Is it fear?! Whatever it is, I LOVE it!
|
Okay, Reilley left his eyes open this time ... after the little conversation with Dad.

Ewww, the arm on that boy in #2, it just looks wrong. Like his arm really isn't attached to him. Great action shots, you should print out 5x7's all thru the season, and sell them at the game........like they do on cruise ships. They take pics of you coming and going, and then when you see your pic up on the board, of course you're gonna buy it!! Ka-ching!! Pocket change.

I don't have enough time to comment on each shot. But they're all very good and the expressions on the kids are priceless

Go CARDS... ;) st louis that is ;) This is a fantastic post. Awesome action shots. You are right the Coach's son's face was priceless, and the kid with sunglasses on backwards... hilarious. Great job on this one. I hope that your Cards stay undefeated. Have fun this baseball season. Great post!

YES! Baseball! I'm so glad Little Nikky wasn't throwing a tantrum for you today. These shots are great. Lots of bat and ball action going on. Some with the ball right on the bat. Talk about timing. #11 is one of the neatest sport shots I've seen in a long time. Was the background yellow? It looks so cool! The pic of Reilley is absolutley priceless. I see some future big time torque in #2. He does remind me of Antone! ::::sniff::::

These are awesome! Such great expressions! You couldn't find better expressions in the majors, that's for sure! You Nikky takes fabulous pics (as does the person pushing the button!)! :)

Awesome facial expressions, they had me cracking up! Especially like the determination in #9. Kids sports are just the best, nice shooting!

Great shots! I can really see the determination in their faces, and there's a lot of great energy captured in these pics. Very well done!

Well these are great! A little something different from you and I like it. #11 is my pick, too cool.

#11 is a fave. this was from the 70-200? love to hear how it is working for you vs the 18-200... you missed my pic for you i posted... it has more relevance after this post: http://www.photoblog.com/bolder/2008/04/23/portraiture----the-jay.html

(canon 135m f2.0)

OMG what a fantastic set. The expressions are absolutely priceless, and it's so impressive that you caught so many good ones! Number 7 is absolutely perfect - that moment when the bat touches the ball - you nailed it!

11 is too funny! I love the expressions! No cow pasture for these kids ;-P

Amazing! Really I don't like baseball, I have soo much difficult with it; as an European I prefer soccer (sooo obvious) But in any case looking kids enjoing sport is the same great thing in any discipline! Thanks for sharing, you catched some great moments!

These are all so funny, don't know which made me smile more the kid with the glasses, the closed eyes, or the coaches son! Fun set.

I just love 11 ... you do such an awesome job of capturing expression and action .. really nice baseball set :)

These are all so great! I especially love the clarity & crispness of #2. You've really zoned in on capturing facial expressions and that gives a photo so much interest. Enjoyed all of these! Looking forward to watching your kids' season!

These are wonderful, great set. You did such a wonderful job of capturing their determination!

Awesome shots! You should send them to ESPN! My faves include # 2 and the facial series in #8, 9, 10. The commentary on #11 is hilarious and the action that you captured in #12 is perfect. I can't wait to get to a T-Ball game to test my skills too!

Awesome shots Mat. Isn't it fun going to watch kids play baseball. You did a fine job of capturing all the highlights.Tell Riley Congrats on the hit. Take care

Mat these are awesome!! Everyone was great and the coaches son had me laughing! WOW he is way dedicated in getting home safe!! Too funny with the glasses on the kids head!! I have been looking into a fixed 400mm APO glass! Since I shoot wildlife 90% of the time. Fixed means less glass to focus thru. So far all the ratings I have been reading have been great!! Can't wait to see more games!!

Great pictures! I agree with Veganess, you should hand out little business cards stating the pictures can be bought at their request.Just get a photo maker going and some glossy paper and you are in business.LOL I love the expressions, this is a serious ordeal ! Don't you just love em !!
