Last week the photo group went to opening day of the Clearwater Threshers baseball team. They were playing the Dunedin Bluejays, and it turned out to be a very enjoyable evening. During the ballgame the photo to get is the ball on the bat for the hitters, and the ball just leaving the fingertips of the pitchers. I got neither, I tried though. I had 477 photos, none of which even came close. More practice is in order. But all was not lost, the other photo op of the evening was the post-game fireworks. That was a little more successful, thanks to advice from the group. A 10 second shutter speed, I’d never have come up with that on my own. You couldn’t see what you were getting on the camera, you were flying blind. I will go again since this photo op comes up a few times during baseball season. Senior price of admittance is $6, lots of fun for just a little money.
Baseball and fireworks…

Fireworks are fabulous! Great photo op for $6! Up here we have the same and they do fireworks as well! Hmm!!

I’ll send you the settings that we used. A tripod is necessary though. An inexpensive one seems fine for ‘our’ camera as it is, but it’s the big lens that I have that I requires a tripod that costs more than the camera did. Sigh…
