Well I must be doing something right (mostly I think it's the price - I'm free), because the league has asked me to shoot a charity baseball game on Weds. night. A local politician is showing up, and this is a bigggggggg deal.
This is going to full-grown men playing (not little ones), where I can't get on the field (if I do I'm certain to get killed).
In any event, I'm sure that before the game, there's going to be this usual showboating stuff where you have to take shots of posed individuals. For that, the 70-200 is too far and too narrow I think.
Should I plan to start the game with the wider 24-105 for the showboating stuff, and switch then to the 70-200? I hate changing lenses in an area like a baseball field, but this is something different. It starts at 6 pm and I'm sure that for this particular field (I have to go back to refresh my memory of it, but I am almost positive its a shady type of field in spots), the posed shots will require fill-flash.
If any of you have any experience at these baseball charity events, please fill me in on how these go, because I have never been to a local charity event.
Thanks.
