Some Macro Shots i took last week and a guy getting hit in the head with a baseball!!!!!

Recommended Posts

Some stuff i did last week with my 105mm f2.8 Macro Lens. Was shooting Fuji Extra 400 print film with my Nikon F100. The Baseball shot was with the same film but with my 70-300 f4.5-5.6 telephoto.

Please atleast vote on your fav if you don't tell me what you think of them:)

Great Baseball shot! Is that a Nikon tele? How many frames did you shoot to get that shot? I just bought a used N90 a month ago and still playin around with it! I wanted the F100 but this was too good of a deal to pass up-Nice pics! Post more!:)

No Sadly :( Its a cheap Tamron i bought back in 99, I wanna get the new 80-400 VR lens that came out. I have the 24-120mm VR lens and it ROCKS!!!!!

I dunno how many at bat shots i did, i was shooting for the school paper so i was trying to get that perfect upclose shot of the bat making contact with the ball.

I was gonna get a N90s before i found my F100 VERY slightly used for $560 B|B|

I'll post more baseball stuff when i get my other two roles of film back from the paper. :)

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!! was that a pitch or did you catch it off a hit?



It was off a hit. Funny thing was, it was in a joint batting/fielding practice with another team and I was pitching to their pitcher. He kept smoking 'em at me and I kept telling him to knock it off, cuz our mound is stinkin' close to home and, well, it was *just practice*! He said he'd stop hitting 'em up the middle then beaned me on his next to last pitch with a line shot that I just couldn't get out of the way of. I went and had a beer, and told my team I'd get him back with the last pitch he threw to me. I got up to bat and sprayed some around for fielding practice, then his catcher tried to run me off with one pitch left. I protested with a "no, I've got one more pitch coming" so everyone knew what was up, and I still tagged him right in the chest with a rope that got there quicker than his glove could. I was kinda proud of it. ;)

Blues,
Dave
