Monday HS baseball w/300 2.8 IS

New to shooting baseball, and have had the 300 for about 7 months. I'm still learning to PP, so I'm still learning to do this. The last one I was already above 100 ISO...due to the game's late start. I finally packed up and left after the 4th inning. (no good light left)

Hi Jeff,

The first picture is great. You have caught peak action. What do you mean by "still learning to PP"? Is "PP" short for pixel peeping or is it post-processing? Americans need to eat apple pie and acronymize everything!

By "above 100 ISO" I expect you meant above 1000 ISO?

Don't worry, you can go to `1600!

More if needed. If you got the "money shot" at 3200, then you're the hero!

A 1DIIN at 1600 is still pretty damn good and you can use Noise Ninja to clean it up if you need. Do it in the large picture in 16 BI and then reduce the size and your picture will be surpisingly good.

I haven't seen people shooting with flash for baseball, but maybe people do at night games?

Asher

Thanks Asher...

I did mean ISO 1000...not ISO 100. And PP refers to post processing. Thanks for looking and posting your comments.
It is most appreciated.

I love the light in these Jeff. #1 is indeed topnotch although I am troubled by the loss of the subject's left foot.
