I have found I tend to do two at a month now, too! Anyway, thanks for the thoughts. I love baseball, obviously. And this summer I really tried to capture more than just the action! It gets boring to just get the same action shots, so I needed to think differently at times to have some fun with it.

Action shots can be tough at times, but it’s not too bad once you get a good grasp of a game and can get an idea of what is coming. The biggest thing is digital photography. When I started, I did sports shots with film. So much harder back then, and with limited resources! Thanks for your thoughts and comments!

PJ, your photos for June are absolutely phenomenal. Your love of the game and skill as a photographer are evident in every photograph. I like how you mixed up your depths of field, the different lenses, day and night, action and not-so-much-action, etc. It’s a great set of images – and that photo of Cameron is the cherry on top. Way to go!

I know that taking action shots in sport can be difficult, especially when the players are so far away on a huge field or pitch. You’ve done extremely well to get those shots and the arena looks massive too! A lot bigger than the venue in my photographs.

The contact action shot looks really good, as the closeup image works well against the enormity of all your other baseball photos in the set. I love the flag shot too.

Really loved your post which conveys perfectly your passion for the game and my favourite picture is definitely the flag – stunning.

Thanks, Tamara. Baseball is a bit of a passion to me, so I do like to capture different aspects. Glad you found a way to interpret things this month

One small correction, though. Cameron isn’t my son, rather my nephew/godson! 🙂

I’m new here, but I already know that your monthly challenge isn’t complete without your cute son – so yay for the sixth picture!

I was one of them whining about baseball being almost non-existing here in Switzerland. I’m happy to report that it does exist, in fact, a little, at least, and that I totally overcame it and published a fun post today!

Thanks for letting me play, I have quickly come to love this challenge!
