AAA Baseball vs 7D Mk II

[ronlane]

Got to test out the 7D Mk II Friday night at the AAA OKC Dodgers game. This was my first chance to shoot in lower lighting conditions that will be similar to what I will face shooting H.S. Football on Friday nights.

All images were imported to LR, I used auto in the basic panel, checked the lens correction and CA boxes. And finally I sharped to 60, color noise to 50 and luminance noise to 50 and straightened and cropped as necessary.

1) Play at first base. (He was called safe.)



2) Beginnings of a hit.



3) Watching fly. For some reason I really like this image, even without the ball in the frame.



Enjoy,

Love the ball on the bat one. perfect timing. How many shots was taken? I live next to a baseball field and sometimes I try for this shot .. but my fps is kinda lacking as is my timing. LOL great shot

love the 3rd one too, the body position & catcher looking at the out of frame flying ball.

Thanks Astro. I don't exactly remember how many frames on #2, but I didn't just motor it hard on the batters, so I would say 3-5 frames to get it. (The only ones I remember trying to max it out were the pitchers complete movement and I got 11 frames on that a couple of times.)

That third one is probably my favorite image of the night. Because of the body position.

In shot #1, where is the ball?

#2 very nice

#3 also very nice

Looks like the pitcher ran to first base ... ball in mitt.

Not bad. Good to see that low light isn't going to be an issue.

Thanks Designer. The ball is in the glove of the pitcher. He covered and made the play.

You are correct.

Thanks runnah. I shot one image at 10000 just to see. I was surprised at how it turned out. (Not one of the images that I have shared.)

I'll have to see if I still have the image after I culled them yesterday.

Well lets not throw in the towel just yet.

Love #3, great timing. Are there more in that sequence? I would like to see a couple prior to that, and maybe one just after it.

 

[ronlane]

Thanks Jaca. I will see this afternoon. I think that this is the last one in the sequence but I will look.
