Fantastic work. Is there a trick to kneeling on the ground that long, or are my knees just used up and useless?

thanks for looking, i am not sure I understand your comment about kneeling?

I am shooting from the field, shooting for editorial work. I am either sitting or standing in a photographers box, usually on 1st base side, to the right of the dugout or bench, some where behind first. If we shoot from the 3rd base side, we are basically in the same position. !st base is the preferred place to shoot from.

You are shooting from a very low perspective. The only way I can get that perspective is to sit or kneel on the ground. Something my knees object to, if I do it for more than about 5 minutes. If I bring in a small chair, the umps give me grief and make me leave it outside the fence. You got a lot of shots from this angle. I was just wondering if there's a secret to staying down that long or if I'm just too old and decrepid.

sean

I do not know where you are shooting from, what you are shooting etc.

I am shooting from an assigned position on the field for media photographers only, maybe that's why it looks different.
