First Baseball and Soccer of the season

donek

I was assigned a soccer game and Baseball game today. Both started at the same time, so I got 1/2 of the soccer game and a couple innings of baseball. I switched between the D300 and D700 bodoes, using a Sigma 50-500mm lens. I shot in Aperture Priority, wide open, with +0.7 to +1.0 ev. Auto WB and sunlight WB. I also shot in jpg; I try to avoid Raw when shooting for the paper to save time and hard disc space.

1 D700, 50-500mm Sigma


2. D700, 50-500mm Sigma


3. D300, 50-500 Sigma


4. D700, 50-500mm Sigma


5. D700, 50-500mm Sigma


6. D300, 50-500mm Sigma

You actually spend all that time on your toes just in case something happens. This was a fairly uneventful game. The home team was loosing pretty badly. It's all about predicting where the action will be and being ready for it.
