It was the third or fourth game of the season and my seven-year-old granddaughter (she’s eight now) hadn’t reached first base yet. She wasn’t too happy. Then late in the game she came up to bat again and luckily I was there to record the great event for posterity. My camera settings were too slow to freeze the action in the photo but I think I succeeded inΒ capturing the movements of both ball and bat as she got her first hit. She’s happy now. So is her grandfather.

It’s the first week of the month and Leanne Cole has chosen Movement to be the theme for this week’ s Monochrome Madness Challenge. Go to Leanne’s website to see how other photographers have interpreted the theme and to find out how you, too, can submit your entry for future challenges.
Very nice . . . and yes, it’s better to show movement.

Great photo!

Wonderful shot! (Both from you and your granddaughter.) And I like that the ball is blurred – it shows the force of the hit. π
