Was bored, so I went to the Dome for some HS baseball. Only got 2 innings.

I tried for this type of shot on nearly every pitch. Out of the 30 or so I took, this was the best one

FYI, trying to focus on the ball, with the player out of focus. Unfortunately there is a coach in this shot (after the game) :ughrun:

Manually focus the camera slightly in front of the pitcher, hope for good timing

Here's another:

They pale terribly in comparison to how this shot should look (not a photoshop trick):

Did you take that last one? Or is that what you WANTED to take? lol

I see a couple of like-new 70-200s for $1400 shipped on POTN... I think it may be a good ideaaaaaaaa

Grr... why does smugmug keep stripping the EXIF info!
What's the data on those images?

And damn, I might need to register on POTN forums.

A lot of things will strip it... sometimes I'll find my EXIF stripped out of photoshop...

I've noticed that if I add IPTC data to the file through Aperture, it will keep it in there for some reason...

It should be REQUIRED, I usually look at the EXIF info on most of the pics posted.

I try to stay away from POTN... the images on their will make you feel very unskilled an inadequate quickly. And it gets updated so often and has so many members it's hard to become a "regular", unless you're a pro and spend you life between there and behind the camera.

Lol I know I'm not a pro so it would only strive me to do better.

What's IPTC data?

It's the geographical data, copyright shiet and some other stuff. I would post a screenshot of it, but I'm on mobile internet and the upload is slow as balls.
