Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at one of my son’s high school baseball games with a rival high school. One of his good friends is the 1st baseman.

Time

This shot was taken in the afternoon on the East Coast.

Lighting

I was extremely pleased that the natural lighting allowed us to see the dirt being kicked up and the timing of the ball and “tag” towards the returning player.

Equipment

Used my Canon dslr Rebel T3i with its kit lens the 75-300mm lens.

Inspiration

Capturing sports action and the decisive moments in sports is my passion. At the time of this photo, I was actually taking photos for the boys on the team.

Editing

Would have cropped the photo slightly to make it appear closer.

In my camera bag

A telephoto lens, whether it be a Canon kit 75-300 mm lens or a Canon 100-400 mm lens, or a Sigma 60-600mm Sports lens, is always on one of my Canon Rebels, either the T3i or the T6s.

Feedback

Anticipate the next play. Anticipate where the ball may go, and focus in that area awaiting the ball to come to you for the photo.
