Some 6U and 8U baseball from last weekend...

Shot with a MKIII and 300 2.8 IS
#1

Love the #2 slide

Nice series.

Nice action captures but they all look a little dark (maybe half a stop) and a little more OOF than what I would expect from that camera and lens combo. What were your settings? What focus mode were you using etc? It looks like your shutter speed was a bit too low given bat blur and such. Also, they could all benefit a bit from some tighter cropping except for #4 which looks good.

Cheers!

I like the motion. It shows that action is taking place. What needs to be sharp, the eyes and faces are so.

I agree about some cropping.

Thanks for the comments.

I agree... and given that you were losing light, I think if
you increased SS to feeze action, you'd introduce all sorts
of noise if you bumped ISO to retain those speeds.
