Joseph told me about the Mooresville Spinners baseball team several months back.  He went out to photograph them and did a great job!

I have upgraded my camera body to the Nikon D810 and discovered its ability to shoot super fast with the help my battery grip.  So I wanted to go out and get that ball on the bat shot. Got it!

I arrived about 40 minutes early and surveyed the sun situation and picked my spot near the Spinners dugout.  The spinners were playing the Deep River Muddogs.  Mooresville took a commanding lead by the 4th inning with a 9 run lead. The final score was Mooresville 17, Muddogs -3.

I have to say it has been a while since I was around action photography. It keeps the mind alert. You have to be ready to duck or dodge the ball ALL the time and keep up with the plays and action as well.
