Softball...

I went to my daughters softball game yesterday, and tried to get the ever elusive bat on the ball shot. I came this close.....

Even with 5fps, it's not the easiest thing in the world. Niether of these girls are my daughter either...in case you were wondering.

I just wish there were some better vantage points!

Later!:D

That second one's great, except for the serial killer in the background. Yeah, pity you can't get closer, open up and get better background blur.

thanks for the comments...

This is the old field, they didn't play on the new one, because it was too wet, I hope the new one has some better points of view. As for the serial killer, at least I have a record of him now....just in case:rofl
