I am shooting some T-Ball games for parents. These little guys are fun to watch. Thought I would share some of the photos.

These are just so stimulating! Perfect little candids that parents can't resist buying. There is quite a market for this kind of pic's where I live and many photogs capitalize on this at ball games. I have seen RV's set up with laptops and printers selling 5X7 for $10 all day. It's sorta like an impulse buy for parents when they see their kids in action. How could you not want pic's of these action shots? Beautiful work~ Aloha~

Onslow - Thanks! Punaguy - Most places I go the ball parks don't have the space for an RV, though that would be a sweet setup. In a league like this I usually will shoot a game print out some of my favorites and sell them to the parents, the rest of the shots are available to order prints from my online store. I sell 4x6 mostly ($4.00 each) I do sell some 5x7 ($6.00) and 8x10 ($11.00). This is my first time shooting TBall and it is fun.

This is great inspiration for me... that is why I bought a new cam and invested in a large telelphoto lense. I have wanted to tap this market for a long time...being in Hawaii the weather is good for sports all year long. Now if I could just get the settings correct for this type of sports I could tap into it. Still struggling a little with it but practice makes perfect...great work btw! Aloha~

Every one of these expresses so much emotion. #8 especially.What a classic shot..#3 ..the mood is right on. All I can say is perfect timing on them all.

T-ball?.. over here we call that baseball. Or is this some variant of the game?

Thanks for all the great comments. Can't wait till next week to shoot some more, though I imagine that Dennis will rain out the next couple of games. 3DGuy - T-Ball is baseball where the young ones learn the game. They hit the ball off a Tee Stand (hence the name). So no pitching, just a chance to learn the game and have fun.
