I have two lenses for my camera. One is an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6, and the other is a 55-200mm f/4-5.6. I’d like to get a 300mm or 400mm f/2.8 lens. The f/2.8 means a wider aperture, which means I can lower the ISO, and speed up the shutter release. The softball photos from the other day were OK, but this lens would be great. It would also soften up the backgrounds some more. I’m a fan of soft backgrounds. But that lens costs a couple thousand dollars. I’ll have to do some saving to get it. Another thing I need to do is get down to the same level as my subject. The softball photos were shot from the stands and look down on the field. The sports photos I like to look at are at eye level with the players. I’m going to a baseball game Wednesday, and I think I’ll be able to get in a good spot at field level. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some better shots.
In the meantime, it stopped raining today, so here are some shots I took at the park.
