I am with Jaymat on the first shot being the best. Not to much or nothing at all with Topax sharpening.
Working on it. Went on Max looked at your recent galleries, loved them all. Thanks BE SAFE!!

A lot of nice work here Tom. Six months is a long time to not be shooting. I am sure the timing was off a tad. None the less good stuff. Feel good.

Yes I was off a little. My balance isn't real good right now. Standing on the steps going into the dugout was real hard not very stable and made me wobble. I need to get back shooting at lest 2-3 times a week. I just have so far to go to get back to where I was. Thanks BE SAFE!!

Do NOT, in my opinion, give up sports photography. These photos are some of the best sports photos I have seen here on this forum. Just plain excellent in color, composition and sharpness.
I wish you well on your journey medically speaking.

Dennis thanks you very much for the kind words about my photos. I hadn't shot anything for 5-6 months, has been hard to get around for awhile (my Neuropathy has been real bad for awhile). So I was surprised I did so good. BE SFE!!

Really nice shots. I love the fourth one!
Yes the was a good one. Even as fast and dusty it turned out nice. The first one was safe and the second was out. Wasn't expecting that, was looking at the first runner and all of a sudden the second was right on his back. Thanks BE SAFE!!

Tom - these are terrific shots. You have not lost your touch. Keep it up. As long as you enjoy getting outside and shooting on a nice day, why quit ??? At our age we need to keep moving. Be well. Paul
Thank you so much Paul. You are so right we do need to keep moving or we will lose it. I went through a period of just sitting watching tv a lot. My Neuropathy was killing my feet and knees. My left arm was getting smaller from atrophy. I am doing curls and it has really helped. Being outside a lot would probably help me a lot. Thanks again BE SAFE!!

Well done, Tom. Good to see you out and about again. Perhaps just try a different approach to sports shooting. Use chairs and stools and just get what you can, but enjoying being out.
You are right. I have thought about that day before yesterday. I have a 200-500mm f/5.6 that use for all my outside shooting. So I can be almost anywhere and get full framed shots. I know Jules does have a stool he uses for soccer and I think if I keep shooting sports I am going to purchase one. Yes just getting out in the fresh air even when it's hot is awesome. Thanks BE SAFE!!

Welcome back! Good shots, my favorite is the play at first. You've got the defender, runner and ball in flight.
I am glad to be back. Appreciate the kind words. Hoping to shoot more real soon. Thanks BE SAFE!!

Hi all my Hog friends! Hope everyone is well today. After 6 months not shooting anything I finally got out to shoot some baseball. A little rusty but at least I was out. I will say my feet still hurt (Diabetic neuropathy kicking in). Shot some from dugout and sitting front row first base side. I ask coaches for help letting kids and parents know to look on MaxPreps.com to see all the photos and both coaches did that form. Just posted yesterday on Max and have already sold some photos. I need to probably if I don't start selling more I will probably quite sport photography (which I LOVE SO MUCH) hurts to think about it. Going to buy a drone, at least that way I can fly to whatever I am photographing and do it sitting. Here are some photos I took. Let me know what you think. Thanks BE SAFE!!
