A little while ago I asked who was in my general area and would like to come out and photograph a real baseball game with me. We had a lot of readers e mail in and I selected six to join me for a day at the Camden River Sharks game. This is a first in what I hope will be long running tradition of having readers join me on photo shoots to learn. This is the real world Super Secret Project where we actually go out and learn together.
After taking a tour of the stadium to see where we were aloud to shoot from we sat in the dugout for a learning session. As you will see in the video we discussed the basics of photographing baseball. Everything from where we will be standing to proper composition to how not to get hit with a foul ball.
Everyone had a blast learning and shooting. At the end of the video you will see a walk through of the images I captured as well as a critique of some of the readers photos. This is another long form video so let me know what you think of the format and what you are learning from it.

Being a baseball guy I'm loving this video...
Jared, I just started watching some of your videos. I am a total amateur but you're videos are great. Thanks for sharing with us and I can't wait to see some more!
Great tips. Thank you so much. You have been a great influence to many starting photographers out there.
He Jared cool video
hope to see more behind the scene vdos in future........
dey help a lot...
Wow, I didn’t realize this intro has been around so long.
Cheers Fro, learning so much with your vidz
Jared, great video mate! Enjoyed the whole thing. Great to see actual examples of photos taken at different apertures and what effect they have. I have taken your advice and not brought a kit lens, gone for the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 and now saving up for the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8!
A few kudos points for you. This type of video is excellent. As you already mentioned, some more footage from the actual event would have been nice, but I'm very much looking forward to the next installments. Thanks Fro!
Awesome video great tips to, Would love to come join you on the hockey one if you have one but I live in North Carolina. Should release a date like three weeks before on a weekend game so I can plan to make a trip to where you are :)
I like what Jared just said... Quality over Quantity... I shoot for news, sports, and etc. but I don't use my camera like a machine gun. I shoot with Pentax system, and planning to get me a Nikon D700 for its full frame sensor and great quality.
Great videos, great tips and infos, great guy! =)
That was such a fun video to watch. Look forward to more!
Thanks for the video. It's baseball season and shooting at my Grandson's games is something I want to do well. Keep being Fro!
9:29 WOW!!!!! that's a $5500 Lens on that D3000. Man i wish i had that lens!
Could you make at some point a video on your nikon 300 mm. I mean, I cant see how you guys take so amazing pictures, fill the frame and everything if you dont have zoom :) being in such a large stadium!!
this is great... love these kinda vids :D
so.... what your trying to say... any random people who read your blogs can just show up, take pictures with you!! and you then give out free tips? :o
your cool :)
(:
hey what an amazing video!!! congrats! thanks for your work!
@JaredPolin im 15.. i just recently bought MYSELF a D300s and a 200 2.8 i love photography, im already making money from my photographs at the age of 15. age doesnt make a photographer good. passion does. i love everything i shoot
Good stuff. My brother played for the Aberdeen Orioles not too far from there. Believe me a lot of ball players, well players in any sports are very appreciative of any photos they can get of their career.
@Musicmixer1994 I just bought a d3100 with that lens, it doesn't really have much zoom, but i got some ok shots. The problem with that lens is the minimum aperture.
ive been shooting tons of highschool baseball lately. thanks for the insight. ive been in TV for sports, i never thought to try AV and adjust iso for shutter speed. ill try that at the next game. you da man!
you should come out to San Fran, and do this for the San Jose Giants AAA team.
First time viewer, love it! I am shooting some baseball this wednesday this will be of use! Btw, 23:24 the perspective is a little funny
I only motor drive during my own baseball games to break down my brother's pitching and his swing. He does the same for my at bats. When photographing other games I shoot single to challenge myself. I guess growing up in Baseball helps :)
If you come to the UK please do something like this!
Great Vid Jared! I like how people in the crowd, are so concentrated and focused on the game they have no idea that their photo's being taken! But this is what I need to improve on when doing street photography, any tips?
LCD picture control! Huge. Great tip
I think you need to do a tour of photowalk/events in different cities, and you can start with Chicago. nice video!!!
Great Vid, really enjoyed this. I look forward to your following videos!
great video!
Good Job Jared! Well done~
I have been waiting for content like this. thank you
@Gibson2471 Hello, NEF stands for "Nikon Electronic File", this is normal. Depending on what version of aperture or lightroom you are using, the software may not recognize the format out of the camera. Aperture 3 will be supported and patched by Apple, if you search for updates it should have Nikon D3100 support, if you are using Aperture 2 you might be out of luck, Apples leaves old software alone :( Not sure about lightroom, probably the same thing
Have you ever shot for the trenton thunder, I know you're from jersey and i live right out side of there and it would be awesome if you did this at the trenton thunder.
@rashvinpillay increase your ISO so you can take pictures in faster shutter speed, then you experience less blurriness in your photos. (Note that as you increase the ISO, you photos will have some grain.)
@crapper1 of course there all important and thats not easily conveyed in a short video. Many of my readers are beginners looking for a starting point. Once you have a starting point than you can go explore and start to understand the different settings. Blowing out the background aka creating separation between your subject and background.
Hi Jared,
Great work as always, looking forward to more vids and tutorials, they are really helpful and amazing!
May I ask you about the video that describes your way of working with black and whites? I saw that you do that type relatively often, and they look cool. I can see what exactly are you doing to them, but are there any guides that you have, or try to fallow, or some "rules" sort of speak for B/W?
Thanks in advance!
i love this hoping to get the d3100 soon just shooting with a fixed focus kodak zx3 camcorder (not really ment for intese photos but still fun) after watching your videos i probally will end up feeling right at home in the dslr from the way you teach photography and showing how the f-stop changes how the photos come out and how iso is good and bad if used wrong keep it up your a god send to budding photographers everywhere
@citizenofvirginity you can do that in lightroom, but Jared doesn't like the local adjustments I guess :)
At the 21:29 photo, you could have zoomed in a little on the pitcher in my opinion.
Great video Jared! Lots of good tips and insights. Keep them coming :D
i guess im asking randomly but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Aden Ernest Instablaster :)
@Phillip Steven I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Phillip Steven it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account !
@Aden Ernest no problem :)
Please come to Toronto Canada :)
Make More Of These Type Of Videos!!!!!!!! :D
@rokoksejuk I know im not the Fro but i would recommend the sigma 70-200mm f2.8 Its not as good as the nikon version of course, but way cheaper
@rightguard88 Well some of thier camera's can handle it also they could have edited the noise out a little bit.
RAW is just the ones and zeros of the photo which comes directly from the sensor. JPEG is just the image file where the camera makes decisions for you on what should be the highlights and shadows that are in the pic. when dealing with RAW, you will need a good editing program (Lightroom). also if you cant afford to pay for it, there are plenty of "special sites" (thepiratebay) that will be very financially beneficial.
around 10:54 you said fly out to left xD From the direction your pointing if its homeplate its right field haha
Love these please do more
@koujany u are doing it right now as well :)
Very interesting
Are you gonna post a video on how to shoot skateboarding?
@ThatGuyyyyy I would say aperture because you want it to be able to blow out the background.
Fro when will you host a hockey shoot ??
@MattexFilms2006 and dont forget Ireland!!! :D
AWESOME video! I also wanna do that with you! :P
i love this vids , the i think this is your best vids ever ! if you make this vids every weeks , i will watch it all !
@ 14:15 . How can possibly 15 year old own this kind of equipment, thats insane. Not hating or anything, but first time to see a 15year old dude having this much equipment.
At 22:11 LMAO! That's how crab fries are really made.
Is a 18-55mm VR lens good for baseball?
The aperture is 3.5-5 i think?
It comes with a nikon d3000 im gunna buy maybe next month(i heard its a good beginner camera)
Is it better to shoot in shutter priority mode or aperture priority mode for sports?
I understand you're busy so feel free to ignore this comment. At 20:18, that butt shot, I like it a lot, but in other videos I've seen critiques that lead me to ask: Would the shot have been better composed by shifting to the right to give the same amount of space to the player on the far right and far left, which would have cut off the man on the left edge and included the right player's foot. I'm just curious, not being critical. I really love all of these shots, I just want to improve my composition so I seek clarification. Have an awesome day!
Noting makes me more mad then cutting off the feet, or the head.
Btw, do you think that it is important to make sure you get the right kind of battery grip? Because I am looking for one for Christmas, but some are like $300, and I don't want to sped that much. Does it REALLY matter which kind you get?
you're so cool helpin out people and shit
Great advice.
JARED I live in Avenel/Woodbridge NJ. Sign me up for a Concert with you haha. I would love it!
Do you have an understand of the exposure triangle or are you shooting in auto? Blurry images could be for many reasons. One example is to slow of a shutter speed or not high of an ISO to allow you to get faster shutter speed. Please check out my beginner guide on the web site under video guides.
Your videos amaze me more and more each time i watch them! ur a great teacher!!
I live in Cinncinati!
how do u separate the subject from the back ground if this is in the glass please give me a suggestion to buy my first lens I just got the Nikon D3100 tk u just getting started love ur videos they have been awesome
How has the journey been?
Hey, do you know "MagicSFXphoto" (just do a Google search for it...)? There you can watch a nice free video demonstrating the way to create brilliant photos. It made it easier for Daniel to make photographs which have that jaw-dropping-effect any time you look at them. It might help you out also.
@mcnamaranicholas yeah its just aperture but its not just its great!
thanks...i will check it out
I would love to have done this
@mzfcker he has a d200 and a basic lens the other gear is mine.
why is the canon 70-200mm F2.8 L almost double the price of the canon 70-200mm F4 L? is it just the aperture or......?
the bug is flying! lol
Crab Fries!!!!!!! =)
Same with Los Angeles....
hey jared how do you get the camera info ion the top left corner like you have it ?
13:30 I know a solution to this. In Nikon's image editing software, Capture NX2, has this interesting feature that allows you to adjust the exposure of a specific area of an image without affecting other areas of the image. Just a thought I wanted to share. =D
I wish i could be there and meet you n person =)
@mzfcker age doesn't matter,my school a 14 year old guy owns d300 and d700 and the one own d300s while the other own a 5d mkII and they snap great pictures (:
So how do you convert Raw images after editing on lightroom3.3 to jpeg(or another type) without losing its image quality for viewing and uploading?
Morning! Have you ever tried photo sfxart tricks (search on google)? My work buddy Lidsay made some very amazing photography with their photography tutorials.
less postman fro and more time teaching in this way
; see ya.
@34TR3m I think it's a shame that you don't recognize which is jpeg and which is raw.
what photo editing software do you use?
@dakipro I guess.... but I thought he edits his photos a lot.. =D
@34TR3m no no no they all shot RAW and sent me over the jpeg files to show.
HOLY SHIT IM UR 500,000th SUBSCRIBER!!!!!!!!!
Congrats
What do you have against canon?
Look for the ball leaving the pitchers hand
I just bought my first camera I got a Nikon D3100 could u please suggest a good glass for me to buy thank you or any one else on here tks again will only be able to get one every 6 months so i want to make sure I get good glass
whats the resolution of Original size video
Sports photography, the coolest, is one of the few types where your gear really matters. Unfortunately, all the gear needed is also the most expensive. :(
Excellent video. Only problem I see in this video is that kid who is shooting with you...he is wearing flip flops. That is a situation setting up for disaster! So many people trip and/or fall because of flip flops, imagine doing that with a expensive camera in hand. Woulden't be a good day!
Nikon D3100 :)
jared your the best... but am a begginner and i need your help..... i have a low budget and kit lenes with my nikon d3100 which i love .....i use the 55-200...but when i try to focus the pictures still come out blurry....night or day football...what am i doing wrong...help
Mike G could be a couple things. Shutter speed is too slow (you want 1/1000th as a general minimum). Focus mode is not set to continuous (servo/afc) and is in single shot instead. Wrong focus point set up (generally want a single point in the center).
I was behind home plate when Lincecum was in the wind up, my flash accidentally fired. he gave up a home run, fail.
@BIGBOYYproductions greg just did a video on loupe info you can see that on fro knows photo dot com
What is picture control on Nikon
