H.S. Baseball 5/2/1/14

I picked up the new Sigma 120-300 MM f/2.8 Sport this week and the weather has been absolute crap, until this afternoon. I've never shot baseball before but i enjoyed it more than just watching a game. Next time I will bring a small ladder of some sort to shoot over the fence, but for today I just stood in the bed of my pickup. I was absolutely thrilled with the lens.















Unfortunately now i notice how much i need a faster body, the D800 is a little on the slow side for sports.

Send it over to me. I'll send you my D7000

 

[BillM]

I would but I already have a 7100 that I don't like lol

Nice captures!

Nice set. Maybe a D4s is in your near future.

 

[BillM]

Thanks guys :thumbup:

Maybe I'll see if Adorama will throw in one of those funky cards the D4s uses and a card reader for it lol

Looks great Bill! Can't you throw it in 1.2 crop mode and get 5fps?

 

[BillM]

Never even thought to try that Kris, great idea !!!!

But it's not nearly as much fun as buying new gear LOL

Throw that Siggy Sport on the D7100 and go shoot some birds You might like it more...

i'll give that a try after i get the 2x TC to go with it but every time i shoot with the D800 I don't like going back to the D7100. It's really hard to explain, it's a nice camera but right now it don't like me much. I can't take a decent picture with it to save my life.
