Damn. Thanks anyway. Pics of Jay Bruce from 2006 seem to be more elusive than Big Foot.
I replied to your email as well.
I collect Jay Bruce and Cincinnati Reds Minor League stuff
Can pics. just be copied and pasted on here or do you need to use URLs from a website or something? I think I remember copying and pasting some pics. awhile back and it worked but don't know why it didn't now.
Some great Pics, I know Kyle takes some good shots!
Karate Kids are priceless!

Where's Kyle Hess when you need him? I am really impressed with Kyle's photography, and would love to see him add to the thread.
My pics are getting better, but I really need a better sports photography lens. I am using a Nikkor 18-105 mm vr zoom lens, but it's too slow for sports action.
Thanks guys! I was shooting at every Braves series in 2009. Only thing that sucks though was that I was limited to a crappy camera and an even worser lens. I'm since upgraded to a Nikon D90 with a more professional lens (70-200mm f/2.8). I'll be shooting again this upcoming season. There's one usher in the stadium that doesn't care if my lens size exceeds Turner Field's limit (which mine is double the size), and she just so happens to be the dugout usher, so I should get some amazing shots.
Here's a few of my best images from the 2009 season:

Amazing shots! I like the above two the best. Didn't know that there was a limit on lens size for Turner Field; what's the limit? Is this typical for stadiums? Does anyone enforce it?

Yep....a lot of stadiums have limits on camera lens sizes. Turner Field says it can't be longer than 4 inches and you can't have a monopod. Unfortunately they do enforce it, but there's a few ushers who I offer free prints to and they let me take pics with it. There have been quite a few though that told me I couldn't use my lens, so I simply walk away and take pictures away from them. I'm not gonna let anyone tell me to put my camera up.
Mike - What editing software does that mono effect to the background to the black and white and sepia tones?
I use photoshop elements to create the color separation effects. It is done by:
* creating a copy of the original,
* changing the color of the copy to match your new background color (B&W or cepia)
* from the original full color copy, highlight and copy the part of the image that you want to stand out and paste it on top of the B&W/Cepia. Don't worry about cutting it out perfectly.
* Once you have pasted it, use the eraser tool to work away the color part of image to make it look clean.
There is no doubt that it takes practice, but it does create for some awesome pictures.

That is so cool. I saw Steiner do that with Jeter catching the foul ball in the stands and always liked that effect.
