But the one shot that really surprised me was when I realized I'd actually captured the ball being hit. I was standing next to our coach at the time, explaining how I wanted to catch that type of shot, and I remember him looking at me after he heard the camera beep the second the bat cracked, and saying "I think you got it." I laughed, and told him "probably not."
But ... he was right!
Action shots are actually difficult to take, especially when you have to shoot through a chainlink fence at kids either running away from you, or at a distance. Although one of these shots I've put up isn't as sharp as I'd like, I still think the motion expressed by both the runner and the outfielder are wonderful.

Itching to steal third. | |
And it's a hit! |
Good eye! |
