About

Baseball photography is one of the most exciting sports to photograph and capture with a long and important history. The movement of the players around the diamond needs anticipation and planning for the perfect frame. The players and fans, whether they're cheering in triumph or hungrily eyeing a ball in the air, perspective and timing, angles, and framing all combine in the best shots. Capturing the intense action on the field requires quick reflexes and a keen eye.
