You seem to have a knack for the timing.

Yeah, well I had to search through 4 years of travel ball & rec ball pics just to find those 2, timing, maybe. Lucky... more like it!

So did you time the picture or did you use continuous shooting to get those. Those are what I am trying for.

My other shot that I wanted was to get my pitching kid in the 'K' and using continuous shooting I got 6 or 7 of those in one inning.

I shoot with a canon 30D gets 5 fps. I recently used an EOS 1d Mark III, gets 10fps, the results are like a mini video. I have plenty of the k position, since the pitchers always have similar form and batters aren't always hitters I think the pitcher in the K position is a little easier to pull off than bat on ball...

Donnie, I guess i didnt answer your Q... I used continuous while capturing most of my shots on the field.

Awesome shots, Big daddy, did you get those with continuous or with timing the shot?

I use a Canon Rebel XTi and a 55-250mm Image Stabilizer lens, but it is all timing the shot.

Are those shooting through the back stop or do you have the camera up against the fence ?

I am usually against the fence or further down the base line if the fence is shorter there. I have tried shooting from the stands and making the fence less visable by adjusting the f-stop, but the shots are never as clear.
