Re: Shooting in bright sunlight
Leon what are the settings of the camera? ISO, Shutter, Aperture. With it that sunny outside I would think you'd be at something like this: (Sunny 16) ISO 100, 1/100, f/16 = ISO 200, 1/100, f/11 ISO 200, 1/200, f/8 ISO 200, 1/400, f/5.6 ISO 200, 1/800, f/4 ISO 200, 1/1600, f/2.8 So with you at f/2.8 and ISO 200 your… -
Re: Shooting in bright sunlight
That particular photo was 5.6 ISO 320 shutter 2000. I was on the third base side trying to get the left-handed batters and that made me shoot into the sun. The rest of the time my settings were around 3.2 ISO 200 1/2000. I will try manual next game and see if that helps. Its frustrating when you have a sunny day with… -

Not saying this will fix the… -
Re: Shooting in bright sunlight
Wade I am no expert either, but I also have a D90 and I went to a South Carolina Baseball game on Saturday. My shots are with 2 kit lenses, an 18-105mm f3.5-5.6 and 70-300mm f4.5-5.6. I shot everything manual JPEG at 1/1600th shutter speed, ISO at 250 and tried to keep the aperture at the lowest setting possible depending… -
Re: Shooting in bright sunlight
I'm no expert, but a few thoughts: 1) It's counter-intuitive, but you generally don't want to shoot sports on shutter priority. Usually, you're looking for a nice wide aperture to blur distracting backgrounds when there's plenty of light, or a nice-wide aperture to give you sufficient shutter speed when there's limited…
