Looking for some advice. Trying to create a swishing effect for my grandsons as they attempt to hit baseballs at bat. Nikon D7100 18-140MM f/3.5-5.6 on a tripod. The shots would be in AM daylight. I would shoot at f/16 and test & try different shutter speeds with varying filter settings. Do you think this will work? Almost like light trails at night but with out of focus movement of the bat as they take a complete swing. Holiday gift to be framed! Any suggestions?

Thanks so much!

I've been experimenting with your image to see what could possibly be achieved in post due to a recent interest in using motion blur for a runners project.

If you have no objections I can post out of interest.

Faking motion blur versus figuring out how to actually capture it?

That is totally off topic. Start a new thread.

I'm sure that the OP can decide whether he considers 'options' to try and achieve what he wants in different ways useful or not, or "off topic".

Whilst it's obvious that it would not only be preferable to capture his aims in camera but also an interesting learning challenge I suspect the lack of 'examples' may suggest a certain difficulty to what would most likely otherwise be a common capture.
