The Wayne State Baseball team took the field against Grand Valley State.

To be honest, this was my first time taking photos for in sports. Before to the game, we talked about how to shoot for sports. We were told to bump up the ISO and shutter speed to make sure we can get stopped action.

I got a lot of the players warming up and throwing the ball around. Most of the photos are of the Wayne State baseball players. Not knowing when a big play might happen I held down the camera button and continuous shot on my camera, hoping that I got some great shots and I did.

I am very happy with the photos that I took. I like baseball so this was very fun for me. What i took away from this assignment is that not every picture is going to be a great shot. When you become use to going to sports events and knowing when they are going to make a big play, that's when you shoot.
I would like to do another sports assignment.
