A little baseball from last night. Overcast evening, so did not get the vivid colors, but on the bright side, shadows were not too bad. As the sun set, the lights came on and went up to iso 16K. Not too shabby considering the weak/cycling/colored lights. I'll be curious to see if the 1dx2 is a significant upgrade at high ISO. High ISO under good light is one thing. High ISO under typical crappy HS lighting is something else.

The Central HS pitcher (in black), #22, can throw in the 90s. He threw a little over 100 pitches last night and mostly shut down the local team. After leaving the game and going to right field, he threw a runner out at home with a wicked laser shot that beat the runner by about 10 yards.

These look nice. What aperture are you typically shooting at in good light? I shoot baseball mostly with 300 f/2.8 on 1D3 (so about same FOV as the 400 on FF) and have found that f/3.5 is a good compromise.

mb126 - with good light I like f4, but will dial it down to 2.8 as the lights come on.

gorgeous shots Tim...just wondering how you got number 3 - the one of the catcher. Looks like you were inside the field lines so that would put you back behind right field? Were you using 400 for that shot?

Thanks finster1018. Now that you mention it, it does look like I was in the field of play... but I was shooting from the end of the dugout on the 3rd base line and that white chalk line is the 3rd base foul line. I can see that you might think it was shot from the 1st base side based on umpire position, etc.
