This was my 2nd or 3rd sporting event with my 7D and my first with my 300mm and my first baseball game. Lots to learn, but it was fun and I am happy with a couple of these.

You don't have a huge learning curve those shots were sure enough to put you on fast side of the curve rather on the front side, great shots. From what I see had some good shots. A great photo only starts with the shutter release,

The third might be a delete, it doesn't really do anything and is crooked...

Apr 28, 2010 09:07 | #13 I have a 1.4xTC and I might try adding that early in the next game for some extra reach to the outfield, or outfield back in. Here is a shot I took later in the game. Not my favorite, focus wasn't spot on, but I like the perspective. This was ISO 1000, 1/400 at 2.8.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. I was doing quick edits mostly with Topaz Adjust and some of the look I did want, to add in that texture and shadow. After 100 or so shots I start to want to differentiate the images. Thanks for looking.
