OK, that shot of the pitcher is outstanding. I love everything about it.

Could you please share the detail on this? Where were you positioned and how much, if any, of a crop did you do. I'm just curious as I really like the end result, no matter how you got there.

Hey Homer, Thanks!! It is one of my favorites by far. I was standing behind home plate peeking behind the cross fence through a 2 inch hole using a garbage can for leverage. You keep moving the lens until you find the crisp contrast of the person without the wire haze (you'll actually see the box of wire haze). I cropped it to reveal just the head shot. The original shot was the full length pitcher taken at 200mm (40D & 70-200mm IS f/2.8). Other data:
Exp. Time: 1/5000
Shutter Speed: 1/5312
Shutter Priority Mode
F-stop at f/7.10
aperature at 7.0
Iso 1600
Metering mode Spot

I've done many more shots like this esp when the batter is hitting to really get their faces.

I'm hoping to rent the 300mm within the next few weeks so that I get shots from the outfield looking in. got the OK from the ump.

Thanks again Homer!!!!
