  first time with sigma 2.8 200 in sunlight! I did fair..I found that my meter said it was dark but with the black jerseys I blew some faces out. so I'll shoot -.7 or -1 next time more than I did this time.
  I did get to try my bigma 500mm from over the outfield wall though. It was a bit tougher to shoot in a gusty wind.
  

  
  Wow I'm impressed the catcher doesn't have her eyes shut
  Good Series ... Skippy

  I think you did better than fair. They look great to me. Nice crisp and clear. You even stopped the ball. I like the people in the background in the first photo. It shows you what they will go thru to watch a game. Really good action in the last photo.

  Thanks....it was about 40 degrees with a strong wind. the outfielders kept one hand in their back pocket.

  Dave,
  
  Last one is a real keeper. I would suggest cropping down tighter to the action though as you have a lot of dead space around the frame but the timing was right on the money.

  thanks...I didn't crop close because the school might buy some & I have no idea what size they may want.
  
  How does everybody else get around that?

  nice work Dave, great action captures
  
  i would set ev down to -.3 or -.7 to avoid the hot spots
  watch the saturations on the colors
  open the aperture more on the busy backgrounds

  Thanks
  Randy
