If the stadium management does not allow a tripod, then do they allow a monopod? It might be worth an inquiry to them.

At a ballpark, some photographers are trying to capture the stadium experience. Others are trying to capture the action. Different lenses for different purposes.

See if you can rent a Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 L IS USM for the match... Now that would be a fun day out! :lol:

With the 18-55 kit lens, you likely will not find a use for a tripod or monopod at 1 PM.

Great tip.....get real close to the action as the lens will not be of much assistance in this regard :lol:

If you are shooting down at the players and they are on grass, you should get a pretty good exposure reading. If you are low and are shooting against the sky, this can be a much more difficult task for the light meter. Internal flash is meaningless over 15-20 feet so don't bother with it.

Have fun and enjoy the game.

yah, i think it might be near 3rd base, field-level... so i'm shooting against the stadium seats =p ...we'll see how it goes.
