High School Baseball w/new MIII.....

[Dan-o]

I'm liking it so far just so many settings to get used to. All these are 300+1.4tc.

1. This guy had some nasty stuff. Complete game, 3 hitter.

those are great. i want that lens.

[shleiken]

Man those images are crisp. Beautiful. I guess you really need a prime lens to get the images like that, right?

[snyderman]

Very nice! I can see my 70-200 is going to seriously limit the range of shots available to me. Thanks for posting. Great work.

Dan, 1 and 3 are fantastic! I really like your ex[posure nightmare shot as well. Lift the shadows a bit under his lid, and I think it's great. Well done. That tc works so well on the long prime, doesn't it? I have an NCAA game tomorrow night. My first baseball this season. Hope I can match these results. Well done bud.

[Sledhed]

Nice stuff Dan

[ChunkyDA]

Now THAT'S how it's done. sweet shots.
BTW, now your gear sig needs updating.

[jcpoulin]

[Mfotography]

[tmalone893]

Wayne Rooney gets about, doesn't he?! :lol:

[cccc]

7 is a great shot. Perfect focus, awesome exposure.

[Ron V]

4 and 6 are my favs

[SPORTshot]

Very nice images !

[jimmywires]

"Book 'em, Danno!...nice shoots

[Big K]

Very nice work. Enjoy the new toy.

[Dan-o]

Thanks guys!

Not a must but there is a reason they cost what they do.

Very nice! I can see my 70-200 is going to seriously limit the range of shots available to me.

If the exposure and focus is good then the whole infield will be in range. Out field will be pretty useless. Here is a few from the 70-200. I didn't shoot much with my other body.

He is actually a Junior. Almost all the best players are Juniors and one Sophomore.

Wayne Rooney gets about, doesn't he?

Didn't know who that was but after Googling , yes he does look like him.

[Sauk]

solid images and I love the one with the kids going into the fence lol classic

[L.Morey]

Great stuff

[Joe Cyr]

wow, these guys are high school?

[clark.moeller]

Nice snaps! I really dig number six.

[bobbyz]

Some nice shots. I should try 1.4xTC on my 300mm f2.8 IS.

Dan - where you typically shoot when using 1.4xTC. I was trying around the dugout areas and I found 300mm more than enough and was cutting off parts of the pitcher as they pitch. Now I have tried another field where I have used my 500mm. Are high schoold fields different sizes?

[Dan-o]

I use the TC more then i don't. There really is very little to no image degradation with that lens and TC combo. I think 420mm is a little long for a single body but I had my 70-200 on my MIIn also. At least with the 300+1.4 I can get the stuff in the outfield. This is pretty deep right center field from the 3rd base line.

[Sauk]

Yeah 420 + 1.3 crop factor = 504mm :)

[bobbyz]

I am going to try my 500mm f4 next week.

[jmorales]

Awsome shots! I have a 70-200 f/2.8. Will the 1.4 TC work well. I don't (can't) spend on getting a 400 or 500 lens right now but I can get a TC.

[RonnieA]

Crisp shot, Dan.

Awsome shots! I have a 70-200 f/2.8. Will the 1.4 TC work well. I don't (can't) spend on getting a 400 or 500 lens right now but I can get a TC.

The 1.4 works great on the 70-200. Go for it!

[Joe300]

wow nice stuff you got there, yea I need the reach of that lens...
Now Is it the lens giving you those greats pic or is it the camera...?

So if I put that on my canon 40d will I see results like what you have .
I am so close to buying this lens...but might upgrade camera first....
I have the sigma 70-200 with the 1.4 tc....now.

I migth rent that lens 300 2.8 and see what happens....
thanks
Joe

[AdamLewis]
