What did you shoot this weekend (Feb 23-24)

I'm still a newbie to this forum and sports photography in general but I thought

I'd get this one started for this weekend... These are all from this afternoons

U of South Florida-Indiana State baseball game... This is only the 2nd baseball

game I've ever shot (first was Friday nights game under the lights- not so good

for me).

Nice work, Joshua. I like #1 (great timing,) #3 (ball-on-bat,) and #5 (expression & ball release.)

<p>

Here are few basketball games.<div></div>

My wife was in a parade in London, so I shot some of the touristy sites

Sorry, try again.

Tourist stuff in London<div></div>

The Stowe Derby

XC (mostly) racers start almost at the top of the peak on the left and travel about 20k to the finish in the center of town. 6k is descending an alpine ski trail. Pretty fun race.<div></div>

Joshua - can you give specifics on gear and setting please - those are excellent shots.

TIA

Chris,

No problem... These were all made with a Nikon D300. The first and 5th image were with the 300mm f4 AF-S + 1.7x TC. The rest were with a 80-200mm f2.8 AF-S + 1.7x TC. Shot in A-mode, aperture at f6.3 or f7.1. ISO varied between 400 and 640 (it was somewhat overcast with the sun was popping in and out, when it was sunny would drop to 400, when sun went back behind the clouds would bump up to 500 or 640 to keep shutter speed around 1/1000 or faster). I was set up directly behind first base right next to the dugout. Used a monopod when using the 300mm + 1.7x TC, handheld when using the other lens.

It's not sports but it was cold. In the wilds of eastern Oregon:

This picture is definitely not sports, but is is from a competition. I did not shoot this

weekend because I "coach" my schools Science Bowl team and we had a regional

competition on Saturday. The kids here won the regional and have earned a trip to

Washington D.C. for the national competiton. As far as sports, the kid with the yellow shirt

has earned a tennis scholarship to an NAIA college and the young lady will be the only

graduate in her class to play three sports all 4 years of high school. I wanted to crow a bit,

thank you. If this in not appropriate, please remove.
