Went to my little brother's JV game...it was really really overcast, and I was using a 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 so I was struggling a little bit to get a high enough shutter speed for the high speed stuff....

Shot on ISO 800 for all of these, some backgrounds aren't clean but hey whatcha gonna do. Camera is a rebel XS- feel free to critique and give me some tips!

Like you selection of photos. IMO you have done a very nice job with these, especially like the catcher photos and the fielder good timing on that one. Off to a good start!

Nice work. Re photo #3: That's why they wear helmets!

Slow lens, low light, iso800, I Think you did great! The shots show good action and the background doesn't bother me. If you keep practicing and get a 70-200mm 2.8 you will be amazed.

I would suggest getting the ball in the pictures when you can...

I shoot JC baseball with the same lens. I shoot in aperture priority so that the background isn't so prominent. Great job for your first time! Baseball is not an easy sport to shoot. Cloudy days are your friends, by the way.:D
