Where's the ball?

Craig and Don,

Great suggestions. I agree- I have trouble looking through the viewfinder with one eye (usually my left) and then looking at the pitcher with the other. Thanks too for the insight on what the various players do. All, thank you so much for taking the time to answer this post! I thoroughly enjoyed reading each one and gleaned so much insight from you all! Its not as easy as it looks and I have a newfound respect for sports photogs. Amy

I'd like to agree with the `timing' better than `spraying' part.

When shooting Waterpolo, I've gotten some good shot by putting the camera on a tripod, focussing on the goal of the defender and following the game with wired-remote in hand. Using MLU will make the response of the camera slightlyly quicker as well.

This way, you can keep BOTH eyes on the game, making proper timing even easier.

For baseball, the same would apply: focus on the home plate, set a fast shutter speed, and look at the pitcher.<div></div>
