Took DJ to the ball game tonight. Kids are still sharks when a ball goes over the fence. Geesh. But I got a few shots of him and I got this . I wanna make note. I DON'T shoot sports. But being this lens alot use for sports I figured why not. Didn't expect anything great. Maybe good but I had to try it at least once. And I get this. Beginners luck? Lol

@Lindy my only pet peeve was that ball. But like I said first time shooting any sports so I'm happy and gives me something to work on. I'm just wondering what I could have done differently

@Timmah1979 I'm not sure. Maybe nothing. Your focus was on DJ. I found a youtube channel by Simon d'Entrement that is answering a lot of my questions. He's a wildlife photographer and I do some of that too. Always trying to be better. youtube.com/@simon_dentremont

@Lindy that's not DJ lol. Just random shots of the players. I was pretty much shooting everything and anything. I was just looking for a cool shot. And definitely got it with that one. Tonight's photos were done with the 70-200 2.8. I'll try some new things at next week's game. I dunno if lighting can strike twice but hopefully I'll get a similar shot with ball completely in focus

This is dj btw 🙂

@Lindy poor kid has all my traits personality wise. I'm glad he's taking interest in sports . Didn't push it in him about 3 weeks ago he's like Uncle Timmy can we go to the baseball game. Took me by surprise. It's our Friday night routine now

@Lindy I actually sub to Simon. I think him and Froknowsphoto are great.

@Timmah1979 What I WANT is one of those big, honkin' telephoto lenses. I doubt I'll actually get one, though.

@Lindy canon has a nice 200-800. But that's not even in budget right now and that's such limited use for it (wildlife and moon ) I can't ever see myself getting it because I shoot neither. But I would absolutely love to play around with it for a week lol
