This is my baseball composite series. Sports composite is frequently done within skiing and snowboarding photography but I wanted to bring it to another sport. I attempted football, when I attended a Packer game last year but it didn’t work out. Then, I re-attempted it during a baseball game at the Metrodome.
I grabbed the 15mm fisheye lens out of my bag, rested it on a rail (to keep it steady) and took a couple shots on rapid fire. I was trying to capture the flight of the ball. After a couple foul balls the batter chopped a tailor-made double play up the middle, which led to an awesome composition with base runners everywhere and infielders moving in motion! Which made, in my opinion, a sweet photo! Since then, I have been interested in further expanding on this work. I have been shooting for this style ever since but haven’t had a chance to sit down and assemble them in Photoshop until two weeks ago. I spent numerous evening and early morning hours working on them. These are some that I came up with. I plan to continue working on some different styles of these photos and within different sports. But here are the images… check them out and let me know what you think!
Thanks Micah and thanks for all the other comments too. I always forget to respond but it is much appreciated! Hope all is well in Florida, I see you have been doing some great work down there!
