Learning wildlife photography – Making sharper images – Part 3 – In this final installment on making sharper images, we'll discuss a few more things to think about when you're trying to make the sharpest possible images.
Shutter Speed – You need enough shutter speed to have a reasonable chance at making a sharp image. The general rule of thumb is that your shutter speed should match the focal length you're shooting at. E.g. For an image made at 220mm you should be shooting at a minimum of 1/200th of a second. With an image stabilized camera or lens, you can generally get away with a shutter speed that's a couple of stops slower (1/50th of a second in this example).
- If your subject is moving around, you need enough shutter speed to freeze the motion. In most situations, you probably need shutter speeds of 1/250th of a second or faster to freeze the motion.
- One of the big advantages of digital photography is that you have the option of boosting your camera's ISO setting in order to achieve a higher shutter speed. Of course the trade off with the higher ISO settings is increased noise in the images.
Camera Support – Many photographers are not accustomed to making images with the aid of a tripod. They find them cumbersome to use but instead enjoy the flexibility that hand-holding their camera gives them. However, I am a strong advocate for using a tripod whenever it is practical. Even with today's advanced image stabilization system and cameras capable of reasonable images at high ISO settings, it is still generally advisable to use a tripod to enhance your image quality.
Hand Holding - If you insist on hand-holding your camera, learn how to properly brace yourself.
- When standing, have one hand supporting the lens from underneath while the other hand operates the camera's controls and shutter.
- Keep your elbows tucked tight against your body to provide extra support.
- When kneeling or lying prostrate on the ground, look for ways to brace yourself against your own body or another structure in order to enhance the camera's stability.
Tripods – When considering a tripod, look for one that is over-engineered and built to withstand at least a 1/3 more weight than the heaviest equipment you plan on perching on top of the tripod.
- I personally prefer Gitzo carbon fibre tripods. I really appreciate the light-weight of the carbon fibre when I'm carrying the tripod on my shoulder. I use the Gitzo 3540XLS. It's the first tripod I've had that I can walk under when it is fully extended and that's a bit of trick given that I'm over six foot tall.
- I understand that not everyone can afford a Gitzo tripod. A tripod that is well engineered and available for quite a bit less than a Gitzo are the tripods from Induro.
Tripod Heads – Gimbal Heads - When photographing wildlife using my telephoto lenses, I almost exclusively use a gimbal head when photographing wildlife from a tripod. Why?
- A gimbal head allows you to completely balance your equipment. You don't need to worry about the head flopping over if you let go of it. On a gimbal head, when you let go of your equipment, it just returns to a center position.
- A gimbal head gives you fingertip control while panning your equipment left to right or up and down (or any combination thereof).
- When you're photographing a subject that is moving a lot, a gimbal head allows you to concentrate on the action instead of fiddling with keeping your equipment upright on a ball head.
- I use a Black Widow Gimbal Head from a company called Jobu-Design. Wimberley and Induro also make excellent gimbal heads.
Tripod Heads – Ball heads – Most photographers seem set on using a ballhead to support their lens and camera. If you do use a ballhead, make sure it is engineered to support the equipment's weight.
- A good ball head will lock down in a manner that doesn't allow the angle to creep due to the weight of the equipment.
- When I use a ball head, I'm partial to the ball heads made by Really Right Stuff. Acratech also makes excellent ballheads.
Beanbags – When I'm photographing from my vehicle my absolute favorite support for my camera and lenses is a saddle-shaped beanbag. This beanbag slings over the door/window with half hanging on the inside of the vehicle and the other half hanging on the outside of the vehicle. The seat of the beanbag supports the lens. Beanbags are great because they are extremely easy to pack into your luggage and take with you (empty!, duh) and then you can fill them when you get to your destination. Remember to turn the vehicle off when you're shooting from a vehicle so that the engine's vibrations don't make your images soft.
- Bird seed makes excellent filler for beanbags and has the added benefit that if you decide to leave it behind somewhere, the local birds get a treat.
- When I'm home and not planning on flying anywhere anytime soon, I use lima beans as my filler. It makes for a heavy beanbag, but the weight really gives a solid support for the gear.
- For a lightweight alternative consider using crushed walnut shells. These are commonly used as filler in the beanbags sold in gun stores for target shooting.
Conclusion – So there you have it, the three basic elements of making sharper images.
- Remember to focus on the eyes
- Learn to quickly select your camera's auto focus points quickly and efficiently.
- Use the best quality lenses you can afford
- Spend available resources on good glass and not chasing the latest/greatest body
- Use a shutter speed appropriate to your focal length and the speed your subject is moving at
- If your lens or camera support a stabilization system, use it when appropriate
- If you insist on hand holding your gear, learn how to do it properly
- Get a strong tripod capable of supporting a 1/3 more weight than the gear you plan on using
- Use a tripod head suitable for the job.
- For the large super telephoto lenses, a gimbal tripod head is a virtual necessity
- For photographing from an automobile, use a beanbag to support your lens.
You can see from this three-piece article that there are a lot of factors that go into making sharp wildlife images. Practice combined with the right equipment will go a long way in your quest for sharper images.

Capture beauty of Poole Harbour for chance to win a new camera
2:00pm Saturday 4th January 2014 in News By Diana Henderson
IT'S not long to go now until the new Poole Harbour photographic competition gets underway.
Following the success of its 2012 competition Poole Harbour Commissioners and the Daily Echo have teamed up again and are calling on readers to get snapping.
The competition runs for two months and is divided into four themes, with each running for two weeks. It kicks off on Monday, January 13 with winter water activities in the bustling harbour, which could range from ferries arriving, watersports or port activities and the closing date for entries is January 25.
PHC and the Daily Echo are encouraging readers of all ages and abilities to submit photographs and the winner of the category will take home a Go-Pro Hero 3+ silver edition camera worth £250.
"Even during the cold winter months, Poole Harbour is still a fascinating beauty spot and one of the most photographed places in Dorset," said Jim Stewart, chief executive of Poole Harbour Commissioners.
The aim of the competition is to create greater awareness of the diversity within Poole Harbour and to highlight the delicate balance between nature and human activities.
A myriad of activities take place in and around Europe's largest natural harbour and the other categories are wildlife/nature, professional photographers and under 21s.
Winning photos of each category will be posted on PHC's social media channels and snaps will be selected at random to appear on the Have Your Say page in the Echo and may also appear on the website.
Email your entry, which should be at least 500kb, with your name, address and telephone number to email@example.com with PHC Competition1 in the subject line. One entry per person, per category, will be accepted.

Springfield police made multiple arrests in connection with a murder that occurred in the city's Forest Park neighborhood early Friday morning.
An 18-year-old was shot and killed following a heated verbal argument in front of a convenience store, according to Springfield police Sgt. John Delaney.
Police responded to the Racing Mart at 685 Summer Ave. just before 2 a.m. after someone reported that shots were fired.
An argument ensued between two different groups outside the store before someone pulled out a gun and fired multiple shots. The two groups then ran in different directions, Delaney said.
One suspect, identified as Nathan Cruz, 19, of 241 Mill St., was arrested on a warrant Sunday and charged with murder, discharging a firearm, assault with intent to murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, carrying a firearm without a license, and carrying a loaded firearm, Delaney said.
Cruz was held overnight and arraigned in Springfield District Court on Monday.
Police also arrested a 17-year-old juvenile on the same charges after they tracked him to a residence on Bloomfield Street on Monday morning. He was also charged as a Department of Youth Services escapee. His name will not be released, Delaney said.
He will be arraigned in Springfield Juvenile Court on Monday.
The victim has been identified as Caleb Anthony Worrell, who was also known as Caleb Daniels, of Gladstone Street, in Springfield, according to Delaney.
Worrell ran as far as 35 Bryant St., which is about one-tenth of a mile from the store, where he collapsed. Police found him lying with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest, Delaney said.
Worrell was taken to the Baystate Medical Center emergency room where he was pronounced dead shortly after 2:30 a.m.
Springfield police detectives roped off the scene and a forensic team was called to gather evidence.
Detectives worked for two days to gather information pertaining to the homicide, which remains under investigation.
Commissioner John Barbieri has provided extra police patrols in known "hot spots" and high crime areas throughout the Springfield, Delaney said.
This killing was Springfield's sixth homicide of 2014.
If anyone has information on this incident, call the Springfield Police Department's Detective Bureau at 413-787-6355.

New Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said that whether the club is moving in a "positive direction" will be part of the criteria on assessing the coaching staff's job performance down the stretch.
"I think you want to see continued improvement," Haslam said upon being approved by NFL owners on Oct. 16. "You want to see them play hard, and if you've seen our team, we've played hard every game."
Haslam said he told head coach Pat Shurmur that "no decisions have been made" with regard to the coaching staff's future. He noted that the timing of the news of the ownership change, which occurred as the Browns began training camp, was not ideal.
"I've said all along, we don't want to be a distraction. I've told Pat, that if there's anything we can do let us know, otherwise you go out and coach the football team, get the guys ready to play hard," Haslam said. "Let's win as many games as we can."
The good news for Shurmur and his staff is the Browns have started to round into form. CB Joe Haden's return from a four-game suspension has been a big help for the defense. Also, second-year DT Phil Taylor (pectoral) is on schedule in his recovery, Shurmur said leading up to Week Seven. The offense, meanwhile, has a good deal of potential, with the rookie trio of QB Brandon Weeden, RB Trent Richardson and WR Josh Gordon all showing promise. What's more, the special teams are getting outstanding play from PK Phil Dawson and RS Joshua Cribbs.
As the Browns try to impress Haslam and new CEO Joe Banner, they appear in better position to put their collective best foot form than in past campaigns, when Cleveland too often faded as the season progressed. By contrast, the 2012 Browns might have some upside.

Best of Black Tie
Date: November 19, 2012
by: Loren Mayo | Black Tie Editor
Black Tie was all over the Sarasota social scene last weekend. The first stop was "The Artful Lobster."
Chaired by Debbi Benedict, the event took place Saturday morning beneath a white tent decked out to the max with lobster-ific decor at the Hermitage Artist Retreat on Manasota Key. Guests enjoyed a New England lobster feast of Maine lobster, barbecued chicken and ribs, chowder, corn on the cob and more, all prepared by Michael's On East, plus a mini-concert by celebrated flutist Clair Chase.
BT even got Anne Weintraub, Aimee Cogan and Kelly Gettel to climb onto a hammock together for a quick photo, in addition to this handsome devil — Brandon Dignam (sorry ladies, he's engaged! — who showed off his fancy lobster slacks for the camera!
Saturday evening's festivities included the "Dream Makers Ball." Lindsey, Kristy and Judy Landers-
Niedenfuer co-chaired the fabulously glamorous event, which took guests back to classic Hollywood's Golden Age and benefited the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sarasota County. Kids from the BGC posed as paparazzi along the red carpet, flashing their cameras in the faces of every guest, and as per usual, Jackie Rogers was waiting for them on the other end with her microphone.
The event honored the late Nathan Benderson as its Dream Maker of the Year. BT and Jackie Rogers took on the task of judging the best-dressed contest, so if you didn't attend the event, make sure to check out this week's Diversions for the winners — best-dressed female, male and couple — and their photos.
Pictured below are Chelsea Lyman and Tamara Chapman, who spent the entire evening making sure the program was running smoothly!
Bunny Skirboll and Marlene Isaacs were first in line to greet each and every guest walking through the gate to the Sarasota's Orchestra's "Hot Jazz on a Snazzy Sunday: Roarin' 20's Season Opener Brunch."
The courtyard was filled with food stations offering guests everything from omelets prepared to order, eggs Benedict and cheese blintzes, to pan-seared crab cakes, marinated flank steak and miso glazed salmon.
Skirboll and Isaacs co-chaired the event, with assistance from Ann Folsom Smith as the design co-chair. More than 30 people volunteered their time to decorate lampshades as table centerpieces, which added a artistically fabulous touch to the Michael's On East Ballroom.

PHOENIX (AP) - A member of a Chandler street gang has been convicted of first-degree murder in a 2006 drive-by shooting that killed a 19-year-old woman.
Maricopa County prosecutors said Tuesday that 26-year-old Rodrigo Romero Jr. also was found guilty of multiple other felonies.
They say Romero faces a possible life prison term plus an additional 397½ years when he's sentenced on April 12.
Authorities say Romero is a member of the Chandler Varrio Locos criminal street gang.
They say Romero was involved in a drive-by shooting that targeted members of a rival street gang on Dec. 2, 2006.
Authorities say six people were shot outside a Chandler home including Lindsay Key, a single mother who suffered a fatal wound to the head.
A county grand jury indicted Romero in December 2010.

Also, this may sound crazy, but way more Black clubs were sponsoring fight parties for this and the last Floyd fight. I think Floyd fight night was killing their business for a Saturday night with all the fight parties. My understanding is that it costs over $2k for a bar to buy the fight. Many folks I know who would have either thrown or attended an in home fight party here in St. Louis attended in a lounge or club. Clubs cant afford to give away a Saturday night, so they have moved into the Mayweather fight scene. Heck, my sister had a fight party at her barbershop a few fights ago, but now her account is flagged as commercial, so.......
Of course, this is purely anecdotal.

d-o-n-e, get it done!
If I seem a little distant right now... I am. I am a little torn in every direction. Today I managed to bake over 160 cupcakes for Lecia's Saskatchewan Scraps event. Tonight The Fan came over and helped me make seven batches of frosting and tomorrow I will assemble everything on site just before they are served. If I did my math correctly I should have about twelve flavours. I'll show you highlights on Monday, you can bet on it.
Also, if I accomplished nothing else this week, I got the Cheerios in order. I found a fantastic deal on shoes at Payless - and it's BOGO right now! The uniforms and poms have been ordered and they're on their way. If you can follow this: I'm having them shipped to my friend's mother in Detroit - and then Veto's cousin and wife will pick them up at her house on their way from Windsor to Chicago when they meet us in December. I'm taking an extra suitcase with me and packing everything to bring home with me. Does it sound like a bit of a dog-and-pony show to you? An apple pie hubbub? Quite possibly. Keep your spirit fingers crossed for me.
Lastly, I set up a private blog for the Cheerios, their parents and the assistant coaches. I'm going to post all the information they will need there. My new motto will be, "when in doubt, check the blog." It's a huge improvement from my old motto, "if you can't say anything nice, come sit next to me."
Now, I have to get the Cheerios on the business end of a fundraiser - and quickly. I've been out of the coaching loop for almost a decade. What's the scoop? What's a hot seller on the circuit right now? All suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Magnet.com has car magnets you can puchase. They are real reasonable, ship fast, and you can turn around and sell them as a fundraiser. Just upload your design and you are done!

One class in our school purchased a laptop for approximately $800. They then sold tickets on it! They made 'a ton of money'! ($2000)

Can you come up with some fab school pride designs and set up a Cafe Press shop online? You choose what items to sell - T shirts, hats, tote bags, etc. - upload your designs, and customers put them together. You don't have to invest in the product (Cafe Press gets paid when customers order, you get the rest) AND it's always open, 24/7 all year long. Just promote the site and get people to it!

Our school had a coffee fundraiser that worked quite well. It was a company based in your town (the Roastery?) that roasts its own coffee. I didn't care for the coffee myself but it did sell and they have ran it 3 times. I know it was very successful the first time but am not sure how well it went the last 2 times.

My daughter's team did a carwash-each girl was required to presell 10 tickets-they gave them 20-most sold 20. then the day of the carwash most people that prebought didnot come to redemn tickets. they had posters they waved by entrance to parking lot-they had non syop lines the entire time. So moral of story always presale what ever you do-

Hmmmmn..... OK, so this one may require a lot of work. But it's SO you that I can't believe you haven't thought of it yet, Saucy: What about a 'Cupcake of the Month Club'? ;0)
Create a menu of twelve uber fab cupcakes - one for each month. Sell memberships that include a delivery (or pickup) of four or six cupcakes each month for a year. Maybe stagger deliveries all month long, or just do them all for one week each month. And they all get delivered by Cheerios in uniform with a special 'delivery cheer'!
Offer some done in school colors on Spirit Days/Game Days at school each week or month, or just for special days like Homecoming & Prom.... again with special delivery. Promote this by delivering one to every single teacher during morning Homeroom!
OK now I'm hungry for cupckakes....

Before we had Jimmy Grimble we had Garry Flitcroft. At the age of 12 years old Garry re-enacted the scene from the movie before that scene had ever been written! The scene where the United scout come up to Jimmy and tells him he wants to offer him a trial at United and Jimmy says thanks but he's had a better offer. The scout looks at Grimble and says 'What could be better than United?' to which Jimmy replies 'City!'. I like to think that in 1984 that was EXACTLY how it happened when Flitcroft turned down United for City.
Ten years later, after a loan spell at Bury, he would be turning out for the Blues as a substitute against Oldham, a game that ended in a 3-3 draw in Peter Reids last full season as City boss. Flitcroft would end up making 28 League appearances during that season and finding himself on the scoresheet five times. They were very important goals as well with two being winning goals against Coventry and Forest and two others being the only goals in 1-1 draws with Liverpool and Villa, both of which would end up in the top six that season. City would end up 9th and that would be the best City would get while Flitcroft was there, although that was nothing to do with him, rather the catastrophic behind the scenes events of that time.
In fact Flitcroft would appear a total of 142 times for City, some as Captain and scored 13 goals. Thirteen is unlucky for some but also being the most profitable player in a team with financial difficulties. As a result, Flitcroft was sold to Blackburn for 3.5million in 1996. His last game for City was a 2-1 win against Southampton. City would get relegated that very season and go on to struggle in Division 1 before succumbing to Division 2 whereas Flitcroft went on to become Blackburn Captain, playing 248 times for them, scoring fourteen times and serving them for ten years.
Aged only 24 when he left City it is clear that had we not had financial troubles at that time then he certainly would have spent his best years at City. Just like a lot of our quality players around that time we brought them up, gave them their experience then allowed others to reap the rewards.
As is sometimes the case, great captains go on to manage and it was no different with Flitcroft. In 2009 he took on the job with Leigh but left again, like City, because of the clubs financial situation. It is alleged that he and several players hadn't been paid for some time and when he left he took a bunch of his old players too. Now he is manager of Chorley and recently taken them up to the Northern Premier League at the first time of asking. Currently they are third in the NPL although they have played more games than the other teams around them. Another Flitcroft is also involved with the club with Garrys youngest brother Steve playing for the side.

jesus...everyone really likes martin buttrich - subtelite alot.
ok fine, then tell me: Isn't Martin Buttrich an idiot for giving out all those dancefloor bombs. With time, if he had released all those great tracks instead of selling them he would be able to sell a shit load more using his own name.....no?
not really, because doing what he does guarantees him x amount of dollars. No track is a guaranteed hit.
kinda like david bowie....a great performer who made more money producing for others than under his own name.
if you flood the market with your own shit, eventually people get sick of seeing your name even if it is good. This way is better for his bank account considering with every hit he puts out under someone else's name guarantees that people with little to no productions skills will pay his price to help push them over the top. We both know most dj's don't make bank until they have a few tracks to get them prime bookings.
ka ching.
he is also free to release stuff that is not his traditional sound without pissing off his fans. He is one of the most talented technical producers, and even does pop music. Can't put his name on that can he?
on the record...i hate this track
it is just a peak time bomb made for festivals with little substance aka will be huge as long as the right people play it aka 70% of the cocoon catalog.

Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle said the city is forced to reprioritize when it comes to road work funding. He said ATRIP funding from the state will likely be shifted from smaller road projects to main roads like I-565 and Memorial Parkway.
The mayor said Huntsville was not given enough money to tackle most of what needs to be done. Huntsville is sharing $50 million with the city of Madison and Madison County.
He said it is important to put the money towards roadways that move the most traffic. Mayor Battle said roads that were once priority roads will likely be put off. That includes widening on Zierdt Road and work on Martin Road, among many others.
Decisions won't be made until after a metropolitan planning organization (MPO) vote. The mayor said he has not officially cut the Zierdt Road project, but if he has to choose, he will choose to begin work on North Memorial Parkway.
"The people who live in other areas that have to leave those areas every day, come to work, leave from work, and go back home, that is what we are looking at," said Mayor Battle. "This doesn't just affect Huntsville. It's Huntsville, Madison, Madison County and that whole 14 county area in North Alabama."
Mayor Battle said many projects have already been deferred to 2024. One of those is the widening of Hobbs Island Road. He said a total of $450 million worth of projects are delayed in Huntsville. He said it will take more money an understanding from the governor to move Huntsville in the right direction.

Until relatively recently, it seemed as if the financial strata of baseball teams was frozen. Big-market teams would remain big, small-market teams small, and the financial health of some might never improve. Now the disparity between the haves and have-nots isn't as clearly defined as it once was. Some of the organizations that were once paupers are now kings and vice-versa.
Some of the new fluidity is, naturally, dictated by finance. The ability to buy the lineup you want is no longer a privilege reserved for the Yankees. More teams have their hands on cash due to revenue sharing and new national and/or local television deals, and they seem intent to make up for lost time, spending like recent lottery winners. Others, like the Indians, have been less secure in their financial position and have been forced to wax and wane from munificence to thrift based on the economics of the Rust Belt and shifts in attendance.
The Braves have been in a similar situation to the Indians, a once-great baseball power brought low by changing economic realities. In the late 1990s they were safely ensconced in a new ballpark, still at least tangentially connected to Ted Turner (he had sold TBS, and by extension the team, to Time Warner in 1996) and drawing over 3 million fans a year. Given that, the fact that Ted's network was broadcasting Ted's ballgames led to a TV deal that was perhaps less than the team could have commanded in a fair bidding process was less important than it might otherwise have been.

Things have changed. Attendance is down and the team, sold to Liberty Media in 2007, found itself locked into an even more disadvantageous television deal as Time Warner went out the door. The Braves can ditch the gently-used stadium and the city altogether in a bid to increase attendance and thereby revenue, but their strangulating television deal, which has 13 years to run, isn't going anywhere soon (the further sale of 45 games still broadcast by Turner's Peachtree TV to Fox Sports South improved the team's television revenues, but not enough to ameliorate the poor quality of the main contract). The Braves have adapted well to their current realities, responding to a four-year stretch of third- and fourth-place finishes from 2006 through 2009 by returning to the playoffs in three of the last four years. Still, as the pace of change wrought by television money accelerates, the Braves may be hard-pressed to keep up. Craig Kimbrel's arbitration case may be the first sign of the coming breakdown.
Kimbrel, the fantastically successful closer, was one of the young players the Braves built around to get out of their four-year slump. Call them the Class of 2010: That season, the Braves had Kimbrel, Freddie Freeman, Jason Heyward, Mike Minor, Brandon Beachy, and Jonny Venters reach the majors. The flood from the farm allowed the Braves to conceal the fact that they were no longer the big spenders they once were. In 2003, the Braves had a $106 million payroll, the third largest in the majors. While many teams have been trending upward in spending not only because they have more money but because players have become more expensive, the Braves have remained roughly static within a certain range. Going back to the beginning of the century, Atlanta has averaged approximately $92 million a season in player salaries, with a high of about $105 million in 2003 and a low of $82.4 million in 2000. (All figures courtesy Baseball Prospectus/Cot's Contracts.) Last season the Braves spent just $90 million on their payroll, which was not only considerably less than what they had spent spent 10 years earlier, but also put the Braves right in the middle of pack for salary spending for the fourth consecutive season. As late as 2006, their current spending levels were enough to put them in the top 10 player payrolls. Now it's only good for 18th, or, to put it another way, the Pittsburgh Pirates spent more than the Braves in 2013.
Craig Kimbrel (Dilip Vishwanat)
There's a chicken-or-the-egg argument that is easy to miss here: Were the Braves thrifty because they had to be, or was it because they had a plethora of young talent that allowed them to fill in the bulk of the lineup card at the league-minimum salary? Regardless, that day is done, their young core shifting from bargain to burden as they grow through their arbitration years.
The Braves had 14 arbitration-eligible players this offseason, and opted to non-tender contracts to Elliot Johnson, Cristhian Martinez, and Paul Janish, reducing that number to 11. They settled with eight players, but the three still pending are their best: Kimbrel, Freeman, and Heyward. Most teams go great lengths to avoid arbitration, but Braves general manager Frank Wren seems intent on taking the trio through their hearings. While there's nothing inherently wrong with the salaries being determined by an arbiter -- the system exists for impasses such as these -- but it could also be interpreted as giving the stiff arm to their young talent, a preview of just how tedious and contentious long-term deal negotiations could become for an organization that is budget-conscious, whether they admit it or not.
The Braves' TV deal is cheap. Over the course of the 20-year contract, they are expected to net between $200 and $400 million dollars, which may seem like a lot, but teams will exceed that amount in just a few seasons because of how favorably their deals are structured. As Grant Brisbee pointed out earlier this month, the Braves stand to gain considerably less than their NL East counterparts in the coming seasons, and the disparity is grossly obvious now that the Phillies have a 25-year deal that will send $100 million per season into the organization. The Nationals are seeking a similar deal with their network, MASN, and even the Mets have considerable cash coming in from their television deal, when compared to the Marlins and Braves.
Given the team's (or Liberty Media's) apparent determination to keep the budget in $90-100 range, Kimbrel specifically could pose a problem. This is Kimbrel's first year of arbitration. His side has asked for $9 million and the Braves offered $6.55 million. If they settle prior to arbitration, his salary is likely to be close to the midpoint of $7.5 million -- higher than any reliever has ever been awarded in their first year of arbitration (for comparison, Jonathan Papelbon received $6.25 million in his first arbitration-eligible season, settling with the Red Sox prior to a hearing).
Phillies GM Ruben Amaro gets his man. (Len Redkoles)
Should the two sides go to arbitration, the panel will have to choose between the two figures submitted; they are not allowed to split the difference. Even if the panel were to side with Kimbrel and award him $9 million for 2014, the Braves can handle that salary on a one-year basis, having subtracted Brian McCann, Tim Hudson, and Paul Maholm from the payroll (total savings: $$27.5 million), but Kimbrel's earnings could rapidly outgrow the narrow confines of current closer salaries, which presently top out at Papelbon's $13 million a season, followed by five others making between $9 and $11 million. Given the typical progression of salaries in arbitration, a win could put Kimbrel right behind Papelbon in year two and make him the most handsomely compensated reliever in history in year three.
In a vacuum, Kimbrel's salary wouldn't seem to matter much -- even were he to match or surpass the $15 million a year Mariano Rivera made from 2008 to 2012 by some small amount, that would still be less than half Clayton Kershaw's new yearly salary and only three-quarters of the $20 million that now seems to be the opening bid for most top-flight starting pitchers. But Kimbrel doesn't exist in a vacuum; it's hard to know if they Braves will be able to afford him beyond 2014 as they have to start paying more for all their players. In other words, for 2015, the Braves have contract terms for just the two Uptons and Dan Uggla; that's 23 other roster spots with unknown dollar amounts assigned.
In his four seasons with the Braves, Kimbrel has been an exceptional pitcher of incomparable talent. He has the highest career strikeout rate (15.9) of any pitcher in history through age 25 (his age last season, minimum 200 innings pitched). He's held hitters to a .155 batting average against in his career, which is also the best of any pitcher at his age. Kimbrel also had the most saves in the league in the past three seasons, which isn't the best measure of performance, but is the sort of counting stat that arbiters seem to use to justify a player's salary. Kimbrel has been so good that when it came time for arbitration-modeler Matt Swartz to project his 2014 salary, his usually reliable model spit-out a number so absurdly high that it forced him to create "The Kimbrel Rule" to adjust the salary back to a more reasonable level. The figure Swartz cited, $10.2 million, turns out to be only $1.2 more than the $9 million Kimbrel asked for -- when you are literally incomparable, it seems both computer models and agents are tempted to aim for the high side.
None of the foregoing accounts for the possibility that Kimbrel might decline. From Dick Radatz to Rob Dibble to K-Rod, these super-hard throwers tend to burn out quickly. Kimbrel might be another Billy Wagner, one of the few who managed to keep whiffing 'em over the course of his career with only a slight decline, but then again, he might not. Even if Kimbrel were to maintain his performance for the next three seasons, it might still be tough for the Braves to justify allocating roughly a tenth of their payroll or more to a relief pitcher that throws around 60 innings per season.
What seems most likely is that the Braves will settle salaries with Freeman, Kimbrel, and Heyward (with or without arbitration) this offseason and they'll try to extend contracts to Freeman or Heyward to buy out the rest of their arbitration years sometime this season, as they successfully did with Brian McCann during spring training 2007. There were rumors that the Braves and Heyward were already discussing an extension last season, but those negotiations stalled, possibly due to injury concerns and his painfully slow start in 2013. Signing Kimbrel is the riskiest choice, first because of his skillset, second because 60 innings is 60 innings no matter how good they are. Kimbrel is undoubtedly good enough right now that he's worth the expense on a dollar per WAR basis, but if he slips at all, you have a mismatch between player, role, and compensation -- or a "Papelbon," as they call it in Philadelphia.
That would suggest a possible trade of Kimbrel, if not now than before the 2015 season. There are plenty of teams much richer than the Braves (or at least more generous) who can afford expensive specialized players and can stand to eat contract if something goes terribly wrong. Such a move would not only insulate the Braves from devoting a disproportionate chunk of their payroll to their closer, but the players received would help improve the team's depth in other areas. The nice thing about baseball's highly rigid conception of the closer's role is that while having the most-dominant reliever ever is certainly a blessing, the job is so limited that a team can also get by with a mere human converting 90 percent of save opportunities instead of a god converting 93. Mariano Rivera's career save percentage was only 89, after all.

Channing Crowder is reconsidering his retirement, but he's not holding back on his criticism of a former teammate, Dolphins QB Chad Henne.
The former Dolphins linebacker had said he would retire after Miami released him following the end of the lockout. Now, however, the 27-year-old says he may return to the NFL in 2012 or 2013. His wife is expecting a child.
Crowder didn't exactly endorse Henne.
"He hasn't really proven anything to me while I played with him, and now being on the other side, looking down as a fan, he's not impressing me either," Crowder said on WQAM-AM, where he has been a talk-show host.
"He has all the tangibles I want to say, the arm strength - his feet work (is) funny - but he can make some good throws," Crowder said. "But the intangibles, the winning the game, the wanting to have everything on his shoulders like the Bradys, like the Mannings, and wanting to be down by five with a minute left on the 20-yard line, let's see what happens. He doesn't have that in his heart yet.
"I think it'd be hard for him to win."
Crowder has started 74 games in six NFL seasons, but injuries have taken a toll, causing him to miss five games last season.

There are fishing adventures and then there are fishing adventures. Nearly a week recently spent fishing the teeming Pacific along the Panama coast from Hobie kayaks was — at the risk of sounding hyperbolic — one of the very best in a lifetime of memorable fishing trips.
This gallery offers some idea of just how much fun this was. But while seeing may be believing, it ain't experiencing. For kayak enthusiasts, I strongly recommend considering a visit to Pascal Artieda's Panafishing Adventure lodge. Pascal and partner Aurélien are passionate about yak-fishing and are now set up to accommodate groups of serious kayak anglers. You can get more information at their web site — and by clicking through this gallery!

Japan Relief Efforts
Jacqueline Church fundraising for Doctors Without Borders, USA
Doctors without Borders does wonderful relief work where ever it's needed around the globe, including Japan.
Having been born in Japan, with family just outside the devastated area, my heart breaks for the people there. In addition to rolling blackouts and a shattered economy, there's still no proper food and water for many in the North, no proper burials for the dead and missing, and the continued aftershocks.
Over the next few weeks I'll be hosting a fundraiser for Japan relief with the generous help of creative and giving friends, artists, sommeliers and authors. I'm keeping the bids low so more people can participate. So far we have wearable art, calligraphy, cookbooks, Sake pairings...
Check out week one here: Raffle in Support of New Era for Japan.
This customized New Era cap is size 7 3/8 and a one-of-a-kind lid - Hiiro's YouTube video introducing the cap.

No Indy film for two or three years
7:56am Tuesday 17th December 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Indiana Jones fans will have to wait at least two years for another film in the franchise.
Rumours of a new instalment were sparked earlier this month when it emerged that Disney had bought the marketing and distribution rights to all future movies about the whip-cracking archaeologist, played by Harrison Ford in the first four films.
But according to Variety, Disney has revealed it will be at least two to three years before Indy goes adventuring again.
Speaking at Variety's Dealmakers Breakfast in the US, Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn said: "We haven't done anything. We don't have a story. We need a story."
The Indiana Jones franchise started with 1981's Raiders Of The Lost Ark and ended with the fourth film, 2008's The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull.
Harrison has previously indicated he would love to play the explorer again.
"In a New York minute, yes," the 71-year-old said on the Graham Norton show.
Harrison - who is also expected to reprise one of his other best known roles as Han Solo in the upcoming Star Trek sequel - added: "I don't think there is any barrier to Indiana Jones being an old fart."

The Missouri Tigers have set a new Independence Bowl record, posting 31 points in a single half. You will not be alarmed to learn they're beating the North Carolina Tar Heels, who needed a last-second field goal just to reach 10 points. Shreveport, Louisiana may be able to tune into the entire Saints-Falcons pregame after all.
James Franklin has 156 combined yards and a touchdown each by land and air, giving him three more points and seven fewer yards than UNC's entire offense. Bryn Renner has thrown for 153 yards in 22 attempts, with 50ish each to Dwight Jones and Jheranie Boyd -- along with an interception that really wasn't his fault -- but Mizzou has walled up Giovani Bernard, who has 12 of UNC's 13 rushing yards.
Mizzou's on pace for almost 400 yards rushing. Without a reason to keep throwing, they just might near that mark.
