Men's Baseball League

[cstewart]

Went out and shot a game in our local men's league which plays pretty decent ball (maybe ~Class A level). Tried to focus a bit more on action around bases as opposed to simple batter and pitcher shots and got lucky with 3 plays at the plate in the first 3 innings. EXIF is attached, but weather was very overcast so had to start at 800 ISO and move up later in game all the way to 3200 to get anything. These are also all crops, as the 70-200, even with the 1.6 crop factor of the 40D, was a bit short for a full size diamond. However the f2.8 allowed me to shoot OK in the overcast light. Anyway C&C appreciated. Full set is available at: http://www.cjscons.com/ghbaseball/jun19/index.html
