One of the mistakes that I see a lot of aspiring youth sports photographers make, when posting the days shoot, is simply downloading 2-300 pictures with no editing, cropping or filtering involved. What a lot of youth sports photography sites consist of, is a bunch of random shots with no story telling signifigance in any of them. Typical symptoms include,kids too small in frame, too slow of a shutter speed, too many out of focus pictures
If you want to sell enough pictures on your site to buy more equipment or pay for your gas to the park, you have to put eye popping action shots that are of baseball card quality, to keep parents clicking through untill they find their little superstar on your site.
I shot this picture on a Sunday during Fall League, in Fairfield, Ohio with a Nikon D200 at 1/1200th of a second and cropped it after downloading.
