That's great, Pat! You have action going in various directions. It's a blast alright! Your eye can always return to the ball, once you realize it's there. Great print quality and stop action.

Thanks Jose. It was kinda lucky.


Pat Oates   {K:3047} 5/31/2006
Many thanks Juan. Our shortstop rarely drops this throw down (He hasn't seen this picture).


Pat Oates   {K:3047} 5/31/2006
Thank you. I was really shocked this was noticed.


Michael Fox   {K:3180} 6/9/2006
Pat -- Terrific timing! Were you inside the fence for this one or shooting from outside, through the fence? I've been shooting my son's games this year and have come to appreciate the skill-set required to get game shots like yours. Great work.

Best Regards,
-Mike.


Mitra Nademi-Nassari   {K:19413} 6/9/2006
Beautiful sport shot, Pat. A very nice journalistic work with great colors! Well done and congratulations on the award. Well deserved!


Dave Stacey   {K:121052} 6/9/2006
Super action shot, Pat! Perfect timing of course, but the colours and focus are great! Congrats on the well deserved award, too!
Dave.


Pat Oates   {K:3047} 6/9/2006
Mike - Many thanks for your comments. I was inside the fence (actually leaning against it). Taken down the line between third and second.


Pat Oates   {K:3047} 6/9/2006
Mitra - Thank you. I actually was fighting with exposure (the sun was off to my right).


Pat Oates   {K:3047} 6/9/2006
Dave - I greatly appreciate the compliment.

Pat Oates   {K:3047} 6/9/2006
Many thanks, Jose'


Pat Oates   {K:3047} 6/9/2006
Thanks James.


Pat Oates   {K:3047} 6/9/2006
Bill - I had to because of the available light in order to keep the shutter speed up. There was not alot of cropping. Thanks for the comments.


Jinggoy Montenejo   {K:7558} 6/9/2006

Ron Wilson   {K:18161} 6/9/2006
Super action caption. Focus was right on the detail is amazing. Nice glass for sure but you had everything else working for you too. Good light , 1/1500 is great. I was at a BB game last week, indoor dome, I only wished I had that kind of light. Well done, congrats on POD. Regards Ron.

Congratulations on your award ..


Pat Oates   {K:3047} 6/12/2006
Jinggoy - many thanks. I almost had to get a divorce to get the lens!


Pat Oates   {K:3047} 6/12/2006
Ron - The light was giving me fits! It was taken late in the evening and the sun was off to the right of this shot. Alot of glare.


Pat Oates   {K:3047} 6/12/2006
Roberto - Thanks for the encouragement. I was really lucky on this one.


Pat Oates   {K:3047} 6/12/2006
Melisa - You're right. My sons' team was on defense!
