A Couple of MLB shots

Extra COOL!

Can you share your EXIF data?

You had an enviable angle for these shots; plus these are either cropped or you were fairly close to the action. The reason I say, I was at SBC Park yesterday and with a 400mm focal length at approx. 200 ft, they didn't look nearly as close and crisp like your photos. Of course, it is a 135mm f/2L. Gotta get me one of those!

The shot of the Derrek Lee is a w e s o m e! :-)

Well they are barely cropped, I was lucky enough to be 2 rows from the field on the 3rd base side just right of the dugout. I saw your PNC photo, very nice especially from that distance.
Exif for the bunt shot. ISO 400 F/2 1/4000th shutter

Exif for D Lee ISO 400 F/2 1/3200th shutter

#1 feels a little funky...but #2 is pretty darn flawless

Sweet! Great seats.

I think the fastest shutter speed I used was 1/1200.
....and I thought it was overkill. Little did I know :confused::rolleyes:

Cheers

Thanks everyone fot the comments. Ayotnoms I was shooting much slower shutter speeds last year but I am having more luck by cranking up the shutter speed when there is enough light. It takes a 4000th plus to freeze an MLB fastball.
