I brought my xt to my schools championship game to take some shots ended up shooting 1177 pictures. Here are some that I feel came out ok. I couldn't get in a duggout or anything for great shots and my best aperture i could use was 5.6 at 300mm. Man I need a 70-200 2.8.

#1 and 2 are about 1/2 a stop under exposed.

what lens were you using, they look a little OOF

as for #4, did you have field access to shoot the trophy presentation or were you shooting from the stands?

OK, a couple may be a touch under exposed, and that 75-300 lens certainly isn't the best, but they are not too bad. I have seen a some better and certainly a lot a heck of a lot worse.
