Last one for the boys of summer.

Shot the last baseball game of the season for the home town OKC Dodgers of the PCL (AAA affiliate of the LA Dodgers). It was an 11:05 am first pitch so light was not an issue. (Heat and lack of wind was though)

I wanted to try the shot that everyone does of the frozen ball between the pitcher and home plate. I got pretty close on this one.

1) 1D mk IV, 300mm f/2.8, @ f/4, 1/8000, ISO 500

2) 1D mk IV, 300mm f/2.8, @ f/3.2, 1/8000, ISO 500 - This one was frozen better.

3) 1D mk IV, 300mm f/2.8 + 2.0x T.C., @ f/5.6, 1/2000, ISO 1000. I had a request to get some good shots of the catcher for this game. Here is one with very little crop at 600mm + a 1.3x crop factor camera = 780mm effective focal length.

Great set.

Getting that ball in focus is brilliant.

Thank you. Law of averages. You prefocus and then just timing the ball in the "zone".
