Let's try this once more ... with feeling.
Here in the States (and at least one part of Canada too) it is Baseball Season! To celebrate that, we will try once more to have a contest that will highlight the gentleman's sport known as baseball.
Here's the TaskSumbit a photo to the Contest folder that captures the action of the game.Some quick examples (I'm sure you can come up with more):
- a diving catch
- sliding into base just before a tag
- a pitcher mid-pitch
... and so on.
Note that the photo can be of any level of baseball (little league through professional league), as long as the subject is wearing some sort of uniform.
The key here is that we want the best picture you can capture, the more unique or unusual, the better off you will be in the judging. Focus on the action - timing will be your best friend. Think of what will stand out as opposed to what anybody can take a picture of.
Wow us, please!PrizesThe winner will get: - 3 month paid subscription to DeviantArt
