This is beautiful picture! IMHO there should be more soft light from ceiling to show more detail on upper side of the camera.

Aaron,
What a great idea! I think I like this one best of the two so far. Tighter compositionally. To me, has a much greater sense of frenetic movement. I love the bend in the spokes of the rear wheel.

What can I say about your last two images both are as creative and interesting? probably I prefer the one you posted yesterday but still the one you posted today holds the same qualities and merits. I believe you have discovered an effective technique that you should take further?

Thanks for the kind words. I just reached back and touched the shutter button. I had it set on a self timer.

This one is awesome. Way to be inventive in making camera mounts. So, did you have to use a cable release for the shutter? Or do you reach back and hit the shutter button as you're riding?
Very creative!!!

I love THE chicken... About 20 years ago I did a day of photography for Wendy?s here in Washington DC area when they introduced their chicken sandwich. They brought Ted and his San Diego Chicken! What a guy, what a change between the person I I rode around with and the Chicken's, their personality could not have been different!

Aaron,
I didnt notice the bat was bent until I read it in the "About" section. Great colors and dof. I was suprised you was able to get this kind of dof with that shutter speed and aperature. Great capture!!!

What I think is so great about this photo is the compositional flow of it. The exposure on the left has his eyes looking down at the ball for the middle exposure. Then the middle exposure has his hand goosing himself and you catch the goofy reaction of it in the right exposure. I love it!

Aaron.. the movement is wonderful and i like how the flash seperates him from the bg. I was wondering if you could take a look at my mountain biking shots and let me know what you think... since you've been shooting this sort of stuff for a while now.

I am guessing that this was a crop of the orig neg?
Framing is good, and background isn't bad.. too much blurr and you would have lost the sense of the other players watching and involved in game. I would have liked to see thier heads though.
I have been taking LOTS of little league baseball photos and it's soo hard to get the action.. especially with a long lens.. there is not much room for error when a little camera shake completely ruins the framing. Sometimes I would go for the wider shot, just to make sure you capture all the action. Sometimes if you get too tight, something may happen out of frame that would have really added to the photo.. like for instance.. the ball was missed by the fielder and you captured the ball bouncing out of his glove.
Great shot, nevertheless.
-Dave

Aaron,
Nice capture of his pitch. I don't think there's much more you could do. Maybe even slower speeds to accentuate the movement. Maybe more exposures to catch more segments.
I like this one though. You have the three main parts of the process.

I don't think shutter speed would have done much to improve this excellent effort, Aaron. The most difficult part of a shot like this for real (not digital) is remembering where everyone is in the frame and what they were doing. That's what makes this excellent. If you want to do shutter speed--think about several. Not just a faster one to stop the action. Something slow to show the blurry speed of his pitch, etc...

Chris,
Thanks for the kind words. The only thing I would have done different was to have a longer lens. This was shot with a 300mm 2.8 I think a little more compression would have nailed it.

Hi Aaron,
This is great! I love the dynamism and committment of it - its excellently timed, flying dust, straining arms and all. The key players are brilliantly sharp, and the row of blurry spectators add nicely to the overall shot.

Ted-
For filtration, I used a Tiffen #15 yellow. I have samples with the following filters applied- none, #8 yellow, #15 yellow, #21 orange, #25 red, #11 green. If you would like I will send them to you. As far as metering and exposure, beleive it or not, I used the sunny 16 rule and bracketed +/- 1 stop. I set the film speed to 200. But I only shoot this film when it is bright sun. I did not like the results when it was overcast.
Hope this helps.

nice job with the flash. at first i was thinking cuz it didnt stop the action, it shuldve been stronger, but now im thinking that it works well cuz it shows the rider is moving...this shot makes me want to get back to BMXing. hey, did you use a tripod for this?
