Nerd Birds II

Made it out to my niece's softball game today. This is the second game I shot of her and wanted to get some different shots of the girls for their slide show that I will be putting together for them.

I always try to take some shots during their warm-ups and wanted to get some tight shots of them hitting. These shots make the slide shows a bit more personal and shows more of their personality.

What can I say but "My Niece"
These two shots are your classic sportraits. I especially like the second one with the hair being highlighted by the back lit sun.

I was too close for a full body shot of this young lady pitching but really liked her look, so I took a tighter shot of her while she pitched.
Just a simple action shot of a play to first base and yes, she pulled her foot off the plate.
What is softball without some batting shots. This first one was taken on the opposite side of the batter. I had already obtained shots of all of the girls from the other side and was looking for something different to add to their slideshow. This view gave me a tighter look and follow-through of the their swing.

The rest are from their normal side.
