BlueReptile Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #1 · Baseball NOT with Paul Alesse :) I guess I'm catching up on my posting... Local travel baseball team game pics from Saturday and this evening. Sun was out Saturday and I shot mostly from behind 1st base or 3rd base with 400/2.8. Today I decided to slap on the 1.4TC and shoot from outfield. It was cloudy and an evening game so the ISO ranges between 1000-5000. I think shooting from outfield gave me more opportunities to get more of the defensive plays. Some of these are heavy crop, oh how I long for the 600mm/f4... Comments welcome! Thanks for looking! -John #1 - 4 day game from Saturday #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 - 12 evening game from today #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 Jun 23, 2009 at 01:06 AM

Hammy Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #2 · Baseball NOT with Paul Alesse :) John, I'm growing weary of the: - accurate focusing - beautiful colors - low noise at high ISO images from the D3 that you and Paul keep posting. Go get the 600/4 and then at least MAYBE I can hear your wife complain about switching to the dark side. (ironically, its Paul and Shanes pix that have MY wife thinking about switching over!) (I haven't showed her your pix yet!) Jun 23, 2009 at 02:03 AM

BlueReptile Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #3 · Baseball NOT with Paul Alesse :) If Shane can switch, and Paul is half-way in, you of all people can switch too! And John P almost pulled the trigger on a D700 and 70-200... If I get the 600/4 it will be a clandestine operation, no one in my house would know about it! Jun 23, 2009 at 02:11 AM

Heh, that may take some time. I'm sure you can guess the kind of investment I made this year cover Worlds: - new servers (3) - new downloaders (6) - new master burn boxes (9) - new DVD towers: daisy chainable (36) - pre printed DVDs (30,000) - staff and airfare for most (30) So my purchasing power has been diminished by quite a bit. It'll take about a year to recover. Anyway, I can keep Paul and Shane busy just about every weekend from Nov-May. The question is: when are you gonna free up your schedule to go touring with us?

dj dunzie Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #5 · Baseball NOT with Paul Alesse :) John what I love about this series is the unique angles you've managed to find (I'm sure in no small way 560mm helps but still...) Nice stuff... keep 'em coming! Jun 23, 2009 at 02:59 AM

Geoffrey Bolte Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #6 · Baseball NOT with Paul Alesse :) John some great looking shots. Although I don't see any rain! You must have lucked out. Field looks good for what has been coming our way the last week or so. Can't wait to see some more of your work I'm always looking for it! Jun 23, 2009 at 03:04 AM

I'm always missing out on those gigs that Paul, Shane and John P tell me about. Nov-May is my peak season for gymnastics. But I maybe knocking on your door soon as I see more and more parents with 1D and D3 bodies at meets that I cover... Jun 23, 2009 at 04:00 AM

Nice stuff... keep 'em coming! Thanks DJ. It was more fun today roaming around in outfield looking, waiting and anticipating action to happen. All the while I kept on thinking "Man, wouldn't it be nice to have a 600?" Jun 23, 2009 at 04:02 AM

We have had plenty of rain and luckily it held off this evening. The field was a little wet as you can tell but still in pretty good shape! Unfortunately I think this would be my last travel baseball game due to my other commitments in the coming weeks, a 2-game season for me...

Geoffrey Bolte Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #10 · Baseball NOT with Paul Alesse :) Yeah, John, I'm in the same boat as you, got a few requests to cover the upcoming local LL All-Star games problem is I already have some commitments. Looks like I'll be able to get a few games in but not a lot. I'm hoping the rain holds off tomorrow for the Travelers Celeb Pro-AM as I have a lot of groupings to cover! Jun 23, 2009 at 03:51 PM

Chris Maccubbi Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #11 · Baseball NOT with Paul Alesse :) Really like #6! Jun 24, 2009 at 03:23 AM

WmPat Online Image Upload: Off p.1 #12 · Baseball NOT with Paul Alesse :) Beautiful shots, #3 would be my fav. Jun 24, 2009 at 04:47 AM

Gerry Szarek Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #13 · Baseball NOT with Paul Alesse :) I like number 3 the best, the face is just perfect John. First it looks like you had good weather unlike those of us in New England, its been raining for 3 weeks. Well have a good night. Gerry Jun 25, 2009 at 12:33 AM

Geoffrey Bolte Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #14 · Baseball NOT with Paul Alesse :) Gerry funny thing is, he is in New England! John, it was great meeting you today at the Championship. Jun 25, 2009 at 02:13 AM

Ironhorse Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #16 · Baseball NOT with Paul Alesse :) It is still hard to link those ISO ranges with the quality of your photos. Great job. Regards, Joe Jun 27, 2009 at 04:15 AM

radvas Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #17 · Baseball NOT with Paul Alesse :) I like 3. I really like 6, something about it just looks like the kid is going to pop it. It has a mood of anticipation to it. I like 9 quite a bit too. Jun 27, 2009 at 06:11 AM

Great shots John! You make me miss my Nikons...Keep posting! Jun 27, 2009 at 10:08 AM

impressnow Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #20 · Baseball NOT with Paul Alesse :) All I know is I'm glad I wasn't shooting with you from the 1st base side on #4! Otherwise, great shots! #6 especially! Jun 28, 2009 at 12:41 AM

Focus Locus Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #21 · Baseball NOT with Paul Alesse :) I only wish that making my pictures as good as these were simply a matter of switching to a D3. Jul 01, 2009 at 04:35 PM

SwimmerDad Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #22 · Baseball NOT with Paul Alesse :) 11 is my favorite I thought you would have bought at least 2 600's by now John. The 600 is an awesome lens, at least the canon version that I used for open water meets but by the end of the day you feel it; at least this old man does. Ron Jul 10, 2009 at 02:11 AM

Beau Arnold Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #23 · Baseball NOT with Paul Alesse :) #3 WOW What faces are all about "Come up throwing" should be the caption. Jul 11, 2009 at 05:55 PM
