Queens of the Diamond: Not a Strike!

Queens of the Diamond: Not a Strike!

“Not a Strike!” is the sixth image in my “Queens of the Diamond” summer series. The candid shot was taken through the backstop fencing and depicts the batter disagreeing with the umpire’s call. She does not argue or even look back but you can see the displeasure at the strike call in her facial expression. She would go on to hit a single on a subsequent pitch.

Sports photography is not my forte but I have set out to capture some special moments for my daughter’s fast pitch team. I will post some of the best images here on Greg’s Blog throughout the summer. I hope you decide to follow along as I chronicle the girls’ journey while expanding my photographic range. I look forward to hearing what you have to say. Please leave feedback in the comment section below.

Image captured in May 2022 at the Steve Brown Sports Complex, Brantford, Ontario.
Equipment: Canon EOS 60D, EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM.
