Plog 7-13-08: Baseball, Baseball, Baseball
Went to my first night baseball game since 1994. It was tough, to say the least. In my opinion, I came out with pretty much zilch in the manner of decent shots. I was using my 70-200L with 2xTC and fully open at 5.6. I still ended up having to turn the ISO up to something like 500 or 640 for everything, just to keep the shutter speed high enough. Everything is SO grainy it is horrible.
I'll be downloading noise ninja this week to give that a try, but overall so far I'm very disappointed with the way my images turned out. Perhaps I'm not meant to do sports shooting anymore, I don't know. Sure these would work fine for B/W newsprints, but put them online or in color 8x10 or 11x14 prints and judges would rip me a new one.
:sigh:
