Nice seats and nice shots. Does Safeco have any restrictions on photography equipment?

As a side note, I have a friend at school who's from Eagle River! Well, actually I gues he's from Pasco, but his parents moved to Eagle River recently, so he's sorta from there.

Your timing looks spot on in most of the pics but they seem a tad dark on my screen....imo

The stadium shot is a keeper for sure....

Same as above

Yeah we went to an Angels game and their restriction was "no lenses larger than 4 inches". I asked the security guard and he wasn't sure either but said, "I wouldn't try a big lens, they are pretty strict". :(

I didn't know if it was length or diameter but even our Tamron 17-50 is pretty close to 4". I didn't even want to bother bringing the 70-200 2.8 IS so I got pretty much NO good shots (3rd row of upper deck, just above 1st base)

Oh, back on topic, nice shots, also look a little dark to me, but good stop-action shots. Either the guy was safe at 3rd or the shot was a millisecond late. ;)

They are a tad underexposed, and suffer from being too wide to give a really big 'WOW' impact. Any closer cropping in to the action would probably reveal too much of the noise and show any inaccuracies of the focus point. :confused:

It's a pity your 'slider' has the runner obscured too. Makes it a 'non-keeper' for me, sorry.

I REALLY like the stadium shot though. :)

heh the stadium shot was taken with the trusty pentax P&S
