Was shooting a college baseball game from right field fence with my Sigma 150-500 mm ISO 500, 1/800 sec, at f10. If I got the batter in focus what do I have to do to get the ball in focus, at the same time? Is there something I am missing? Distance to batter is about 300 feet Do I stop down more?
Boston you should be so lucky to see the baseball unless it was orange!!
The ball is not out of focus, you are simply getting motion blur. Note that both the players in the foreground ad the signs on the wall are quite sharp so DoF is not the problem. If you want the ball sharper, try 1/2000" speed, that will help. You will have to open up the lens or up the ISO.
