Good grief! that's like past my bedtime! :) Where do you play? where is the best place to park etc... Is there good lighting? :D or do I need to bring my bees?

[canonnoob]

its like football lighting.. its at the stadium.. the easiest place to park is on madison or monroe in front of wells house. I can get you directions if you want...

[sidx001]

Hey Dave, is it student parking only in the area across Grand in front of the stadium?

[canonnoob]

[canonnoob]

What was your Exif Data on the first and second one? on the second though your focus was alittle deep... but the first one was spot on just not a lot of stoppage...

Sorry taking off so quick, the wife had called and needed me home to deal with two sick kids. She could handle one, but with two going at once, it was a little much :)

The shots turned out as good as could be expected with the lens I was using. I was at ISO 1600 for all of the shots...I could have gone to 3200, but it would have been way too grainy. I'm using Center AF for all of the shots. With #2 it looks like I split the difference. Exif for all three below:

#1 1/125
f2.8
ISO 1600

#2 1/200
f2.8
ISO 1600

#3 1/200
f2.8
ISO 1600

If I had gone to ISO 3200, I could have shot with a lot faster shutter speed, but again, the grainieness(?) of the pictures would have been terrible.

[canonnoob]

the first would be alittle better with a higher ss... but its okay... nice timing... But anyway Great job! Thanks for coming out.... Now im off to class... see ya
