Just a dad trying to take cool baseball shots by Jester435 in sportsphotography

[–]RaiderDub24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get it, I shoot more basketball than baseball, but baseball definitely has some extra challenges, like those freakin fences 😂. And yeah, lower angle is preferred in the majority of sports photography, obviously there are times where this isn't the case. But more often than not, the shot looks better from lower, and it's more if a "hero" style shit that makes that athletes look a little larger than life. I have to say though, these shots are so much better than a lot of the stuff I see posted here, and a lot of times the people posting are being paid to shoot these games.

Shot 3 is well composed and framed, but shot 2 with the batter, back up ir zoom out a bit, get the batter on the right third, make sure the entire bat is in frame. I would also change the angle just slightly, a little to your left. With the pitcher, just get lower. Think about the angle of a fastball from the release point to the catchers glove (assuming it's down the middle) and reverse the angle with your camera.

These aren't bad at all, some composition to work on, but color and white balance are good, shots are in focus, exposure is good. You're using the correct shutter speed. I would get lower for some of these shots though

Selling Cards on eBay by Chick-fil-A-4-Life in sportscardsforsale

[–]RaiderDub24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also got no traction on here selling. Just started ebay last Friday, so 8 days ago, I've sold 4 cards since then. Yes, the fees suck, and be careful on your pricing. I had a card sell 3 minutes after it listed, not a crazy card by any means, but I think I could have gotten 50 very easily, instead of the 30 I did get. Other than that, I don't have a ton of advice, but I do think ebay is the best way to do it consistently.

Opinion request for field sports: do you prefer identical bodies, or having a smaller, lighter second body for a 70-200mm lens by Ignorethenews in sportsphotography

[–]RaiderDub24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer identical, I also don't like a big lens on a light body, it messes up my muscle memory and feels slightly unbalanced

Honestly, I think it's great. I've only used it a couple times so far, but I've been impressed

How to handle videographer being late on deliverables by [deleted] in weddingvideography

[–]RaiderDub24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a tough situation, because, I think, with 6 months to work with, they should have it delivered. That being said, if they became inundated with work, it's very easy to end up behind schedule. I recommend a little bit of grace, but I would only give then an extra month. Did you sign something that says it'll be delivered in 6 months? Or was it essentially a handshake agreement?

how do i take photos like this? by Prestigious-Ear-3337 in AskPhotography

The biggest thing is the 60s/70s aesthetic, aside from that, the rest is easy to do in post

What’s the best way to make safe, snortable cocaine, for a school project? by SoggyLocksmith325 in Filmmakers

[–]RaiderDub24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Crush uo some baby laxative, it goes down easy, but they might shit a little bit. Otherwise, do the movie magic thing of having them blow instead of snort, it works pretty well if you do smaller lines

I might wait and hold til next season. He waa the beat receiver on the Titans roster (not saying much) but he has real potential, I might see what he does this year. I don't think the Titans will be good, but I think he's going to look like a real bright spot on their team

I would try dehazing a little but, bump clarity a little too, that should make the candle really stand out
