Sue had a need for sports photos for her ongoing photographic daily picture project. It happened that the kids' dad was plying ball that night. It was a type of Slo Pitch, and Eric was his team's pitcher. The pitcher throws the ball in a big arc; if it were to hit a big board (much bigger than the traditional home plate) it would be a strike.
He hit the ball and headed to first base.
Eric, subsequently, reached second base and then headed to third. He went on to score.
It was a fun, little outing. Eric did very well for a 50-year-old; Sue got her needed pictures; and, Johnny Boy got some blog fodder.
=======================
Oops, Sue got some photos too. She uses her fancy collage app well. Does anybody recognize the geezer in the last photo?
Great shots! Love the collage!
ReplyDeleteAction shots! I love how sue coopts the family as models.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots and it looks like fun, but so glad it is them and not me! I could not run to save my own life if I had to.
ReplyDeleteThese are great. The red jerseys really add pop to the scenes. Kudos to Eric!
ReplyDeleteThat's me, taking the pictures while others provide the action. Your cat shirt is great. Loved all these sequential shots.
ReplyDeleteBlog fodder is where it's at! Happy Thursday. xoxo
ReplyDeleteA great excuse to get out and watch some slowpitch/slo pitch. It looks like such fun! Love your shirt!
ReplyDeleteGood action shots.
ReplyDeleteNice action shots. A bit slower than your hockey pics.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun time for all. I've heard it's hard to hit a slow-pitch soft ball because it's coming down at a steep angle.
ReplyDeleteYour shirt may say "grumpy" but IMO your hat says "cool grandpa."
ReplyDeleteIt is such a fun sports to photograph. Pity baseball is not popular in OZ
ReplyDeleteThe assignments certainly give the photographer a challenge.
ReplyDeleteSports action shots can be challenging you'll know, AC, from your hockey game shooting. Sue did a great job and collages are a nice touch. I did recognize that fellow in the final photo too!
ReplyDeleteNo, who is that?
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos! And I'm fairly new here but I blew up the picture and the bearded mystery man seems to resemble George Clooney. Do I win?
ReplyDeleteWell done, all round!
ReplyDeleteImpressive. And the last shot gave me a chuckle. Mostly for your expression. WHAT were you thinking?
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone would get into an argument with that umpire!
ReplyDeleteYes, I recognize him! I used to love playing ball!
