5. I have Canon R6 and 5D Mark IV

With my son, I used a Canon 1D Mark IV for action shots, and he used my Canon 40D. I got good action shots more because the Canon 1D Mark IV shot a lot of frames per second, so hard not to eventually get a good shot. My son took far better candid shots that told a story. I remember one from the dugout where in a single photos there is one kid jumping up looking at the camera, 3 other kids are sitting on the bench talking, two coaches are standing with their hands on the metal fence (in dugout) talking. All doing their own thing. Hard to explain, but you just felt you were there, and it captured the entire mood, or whatever you call it, of being in a dugout at a little league game. So many things are going on at once.

When I couldn't get myself started again, I just kept buying new equipment and lenses, hoping that would help. But they just sit there in their camera bags. I'm trying to find an in-person type of field trip, but there aren't any in my area.

I will try using some of the framing suggestions in the article just to get myself going.
