Hi, first time poster here! I love sports photography, baseball and football being my favorites. Since we're football team-less here in LA, I'm generally all about baseball. I rented a 70-200 f/4L IS for a month to see how I like it. I'm still on the fence between that and the 70-200 f/2.8L non-IS.

All shots taken with a Canon 300D in manual mode. Night game, Reserve level seats. C&C welcomed and appreciated!

    I think you did a super job. Mostly because you've time your shots really well and have caught the moment.

    Also, your exposures are good.

    My favorite:

    Cropping is always good in sports shots.

    Thanks, Angelo. Yep, that was Saturday night! I was in Reserve 27 row B. Usually I'm in the loge somewhere out in left field, but I really liked the angle of these seats better. I prefer being closer to the plate, but then who doesn't?? mwink.gif I'm going again a week from Saturday. I'm excited to test the f4 during the day!

    I was seated at FD43B on the left field / 3rd base foul line. We probably could've waved lens at each other lol3.gif

    You should come shooting with the ShutterThugs or LA Shooters some time.
