Orig type 1 photo question

Portrait.

There are some great action shots (i.e., check out the Cobb sliding in the current RMY Auction), but often times actions shots leave me cold. Faces obscured, bad angles, etc. In the old days was much harder to take a good action shot based on the inherent limitations photographers had to deal with at the time.

Depends. I personally prefer close up action shots to portraits, but portraits to far away action shots. I really like team shots too. It all depends on the photo and personal taste. Like art, photography is very subjective which makes them fun.

I prefer action shots for the most part... seeing a player performing in his natural element is much more pleasing than a posed portrait.
A really good and unique portrait image can be hard to beat though.

Also to note pricing is Night and Day when talking in uniform and in their prime as opposed to in street clothes......you might say not even in the same ballpark regarding value.

Yes. Same goes for star baseball player fishing, shoot a rifle, trying to ice skate, etc.,etc.

Interesting, I feel the same way as you. Also wondering if photographer makes a difference.

I prefer them to be in action with no boarders and large 8x10’s. I also prefer photographer Charles M. Conlon!
