I'm ridiculously bummed because I could have had some greattt shots of the Pirates/Brewers game on Monday, but my camera was in the repair center. Neighbor gave me 4 tickets that were 3 seats behind visitors dugout.(Close enough to heckle the players!) Although I did make the tv for a good ten seconds while the announcers made comments about the 40th anniversary of Woodstock. All I was doing was leading cheers using a recorder..

[mattsartin]

not just majors, baseball is baseball. i've discovered that there's not much i'd rather do than watch a baseball game through the viewfinder of my camera, i love it

[Oren]

mattsartin, the difference between the sigma and the canon is so huge, wow!

[mattsartin]

yeah it really is, part of that is nighttime versus daytime and faster shutter speeds, but that 300mm is the best lens i've ever used, i wish i cuold afford it, definitely tops on the wishlist

[Eamon]

Here's a few I took at an Orioles/Red Sox game a few weeks ago using a friends 300 f/2.8


1/640 f/2.8 ISO 400





1/1250 f/2.8 ISO 1250





1/400 f/2.8 ISO 400





1/500 f/2.8 ISO 400

[TheRoff]

Well since we have the majors, minors and college, how about really little league. 7 year old grandson gets a hit. Not yet Yankee material.






<p class="MsoNormal"]5D Mark II
<p class="MsoNormal"]1/30s f/22.0 at 400.0mm iso2500
<p class="MsoNormal"]High ISO because I wanted max DOF I could get (f/22). It was very cloudy and dark.

[Wes]

1/1600, F\4, ISO 400, 50D, 300 F\4








Same rig, 1/800, F\4, ISO 400

[mattsartin]
