I have made arrangements with the Athletic Director at my son's high school to shoot as many home sporting events as I can. This week it's softball. Next week will be volleyball on Monday, softball on Tues/Thu/Fri and football (in the Georgia Dome) on Saturday.

 

Attached is one of the pictures I took at a softball game this week.<div></div>

Netball time. Nice job with the fence Jeff guess the linesman pliers worked hey. Perfect as usaul Wilson. Bring on the D3 woohooo speed res and no noise I'm in heaven.<div></div>

<i>Nice job with the fence Jeff guess the linesman pliers worked hey</i><p>Mark, it turned out that I was able to wedge my lens in enough that most of the time I didn't have to deal with the cage. Unfortunately, as I moved the lens around, I would get flare as the edge of the lens caught some of the cage. I also backed up and got some fair but not great shots. I'm lucky, it's all regular boxing rings until mid-October.<p>You can see some of the flare from catching the cage at the edge of the lens in this shot:<p><center><img src="http://www.spirer.com/gladiator/ngojovsstack5.jpg"><br><i>Ngovo vs Stack, Copyright 2007 Jeff Spirer</i></center>

So Jeff, these aren't quite from the Normandie Casino, yet? I was also wondering about the shooting through the cage thing as well. If you were able to stick the lens through the openings, you must have been shooting with a 62mm dia. lens or smaller? the flare from catching a bit of the chain link doesn't really bother me much. What do you think about the color temperature though? Great to see some variaties here.

 

Mark, nice tight crops. Did you shoot with the 120-300 f2.8 again? Hope that you're getting stronger as the days go by.

 

Zack, make the most out of your opportunities!

 

Fab, cool ride. Those look like brand new tires.

<i>So Jeff, these aren't quite from the Normandie Casino, yet?</i><p>That's in two weeks, and it's Muay Thai, so it will be a traditional boxing ring. I have another cage fight night in October.<p> <i>If you were able to stick the lens through the openings, you must have been shooting with a 62mm dia. lens or smaller?</i><p>It's 77mm, just fits, no hood. Good thing I have a filter on it, it gets sprayed some.<p><i>What do you think about the color temperature though</i><p>It's a little bit warm for some people, I would agree with that.

Hi wilson I shot em with a 80-200 the 120 is a bit heavy to lug around still but I'm getting stronger, it's also too long for this sport, I'm using it this friday to shoot the top fuel drags just wish the d3 was here as it'll be a night shoot, hopefully it'll have resonable lighting. I'll post images in next weeks thread.

 

As for the tight crops I'm trying out a new technique I picked up from a guy on another forum more of a portrait style, seems to be going ok and as always I like to differentiate from the competition, more like the #1 image. I always ran by the old addage of you must have the ball in the shoot but I'm thinking now the faces are the real sellers, having both is better.

 

Off the subject, but have any of you guys shot WSOP poker? I'm looking for a Joe Hachem shot for my poker room and can't find one for the life of me.
