]]>Another great season of baseball is almost upon us. Capture the action and memories with images from Jim Moltzan with CAD Graphics, Inc. This will be the 11th season of the joint partnership between Jim and West Seminole Baseball; another season as Jim's schedule allows.
A significant portion of sales comes back to the league every year. Parents are not allowed on the field nor in the dugouts, but can capture their own images as they may from the bleachers, elevated area...s and through the fence. Please respect this as many hours are spent capturing the images, sorting and posting to the internet for review.
Contact Jim at [email protected] as soon as possible to let him know you are interested. A $20 deposit is required to insure your player gets the attention they deserve, in order to capture great shots throughout the season.
Images for this season will be posted at this link:

I am spread very thinly this season so let me know as soon as possible, if you want me to capture your players in action. I cannot guarantee great images if I don't know that you are interested, or have not paid me a $20 deposit (refundable if not satisfied).

Did not make it in time for the low tide, but still grabbed some cool mid-day images. Lunch was just outside of the Indian reservation at a burger joint, Three Rivers Resort, marked "NO VAMPIRES ALLOWED". Very good burgers and priced lower than what you would expect for being way off the beaten path.

Later, continued up to Cape Flattery, which is the farthest eastern part of the contiguous United States. Small signs say that in a hundred years or so, it is possible that the pounding waves will continue to carve out beneath the land and cause the whole area to break apart and dissolve into the ocean.

Photographs will only be taken & posted at request Some random images will be posted as the occasions arise.
I have been spreading my time way to thinly the last few seasons, so I really need parents to let me know if they are interested in me capturing their players in actions or team photos.
I will not be doing too many all day shoots at West Seminole or Lake Brantley unless requests dicatate me to do so.
You can reach me at 407-234-0119 or [email protected]

GENERAL PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS
- Invest some time in reading up on basic photography concepts such as exposure, ISO, aperture, etc.Learn the "rule of thirds" and other basic composition concepts.
- Study other peoples' images for ideas.
- Take more shots that you actually need to; digital images cost nothing to develop vs. film developing.
- Shadow a photographer while they capture images
- Point & shoot cameras, cell phones and iPads are all great devices, but to achieve consistent excellant images use a DSLR.
- $50 per hour,
- 2 or more people @ $35 each
FOR HIRE
- You come to my turf for outside shoot or faux-studio setup, $50 for 45+/- minute shoot, you get a disc of edited images
- I come to your activity or event, $75 for 45+/- minute shoot, you get a disc of edited images
- I come to your team's activity or event, $75 for 45+/- minute shoot, you get a disc of edited images, for 1 player
- I come to your team's activity or event, $250 for the game/event, you get a disc of edited images, of all players paying.

Attention: West Seminole Baseball Parents!!!! ------------- We are getting close to the Spring 2013 season. I am hoping for another successful fundraiser, but really rely upon parents to purchase their requests for images of their players from last season. Often times parents place a deposit only to never select their choice of images. Or continue to request images to be taken, but never purchase. A significant amount (about 50% of the sales) comes back to West Seminole Baseball each season. ---------------------- Images are mostly taken by request and a $20.00 deposit is required to insure great shots will be taken over the season. Also, team photos are now taken only upon request and are the responsibilty of the teams to schedule with me as soon as possible. ------ Family discounts started last season and will continue along with the $25 special for 25 email quality images for download or cd. ----- Contact me asap at 407-234-0119 or [email protected]
]]>- Select images for picture collages and purchase online. The finished design work will still be done by me and emailed for approval.
- Select 25 images for $25 digital dowloads (email quality)
- Select the images to be purchased in photo packages.
I believe that these added options on the pricing menu will reduce confusion of which images customers want to use, and the time required communicating back and forth as to what images should go where.
Additionally, the $25 for 25 images (1 meg or smaller file size) will economically help those customers who desire many images for scrapbooking, Facebook, emailing, etc., but don't neccessarily need the highest resolution and/or cost.

Just a reminder that parents who requested photos to be taken by Jim Moltzan, of CAD Graphics, images can be viewed at the following link: http://cadgraphics.zenfolio.com/f862733167
If you have not put in your request, please contact Jim as soon as possible. Some great action shots of your son or daughter, might have been captured inadvertently but not posted. Only a few more games left to focus on those players whose parents have made a request and paid a deposit.

Occasionally, parents question the costs of photos/collages produced for this fundraiser.
A few points to note:
- pricing is competitive, if not greatly cheaper than other providers of photography services at this quality level.
- a 4x6" print costs .13 at Costco, an 8x10" is $1.49 and a 16x20" is $6.00. But it might have taken 1, or 3 games, a rain delay and 100 tries to get the images for that printed photograph or collage.
- 31 teams for me this season. Average was 4 visits per team 1-2 hours per game....that's about 186 hours on the fields.
- 8500 posted images this season taking time off the field and put in front of the computer; most sorted, labeled and cropped. 10,000 more reviewed did not make the cut and were deleted.
- cost for order forms, posters, business cards, postage, sales tax (not applicable to online orders), gas (to the field, Costco & other drop offs), and other printing supplies - all come out of the sales bottom line.
- hours of time is spent emailing reminding parents to pick or approve images for their orders.
- on the average, for a team of 12 players:
2 parents prepay for pictures or collages
3 parents request pictures without paying a deposit
2 of the previous will not purchase any pictures
1 parent will purchase pictures after the season has officially ended
In spite of the previous points, one has to have a passion for photography and more specifically little league baseball. After browsing some of my images, I think you will see that I have that passion. Thanks for visiting!
