Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

nice work Kiwi. Quality captures.

Sharp, colourful and if you look closely, even the ball is smiling in one of them :wink:

Did SA win the series?

Have you found a market for these or doing them just for fun?

cheers

Amazing! Again, these should be sold without delay. :cheers: It would be wasted on your harddrive.

Impressive noise at ISO 1250 even in the underexposed areas with the D3. :bowdown:

thanks. SA swept QLD 3-0

I would sell these, but really there is no market. In say the Courier Mail there is not even a mention of the baseball. The local rag sent a photographer to take some pics so that's out too. Senior players dont buy pics either of themselves.

So these are used on their website etc.

For doing these games for the Baseball QLD, in return I get access to where any $$ are - the juniors.

Hi,
yes nice action shots well done !
My other half is tied up with baseball here in SA and I do similar shots here in Adelaide for both our club and the rep teams - more because I know them and love the game than as a media photog, and when I get the urge or have nothing else to do shoot a few club games and sell some shots to the players for a small fee.
I can put you in contact with the 'right' people re purchasing any of you Qld shots if you like so send me a PM if interested
