Thanks Jim & JR for encouraging me.
Looks like I'll be able to handle my 70-200/2.8 lens too.
I'm mostly on my feet for the entire 2+ hour game.
That's work for my aging body; but 'good for me', huh?
Thanks again.

Thanks, Tom, for sharing our thoughts.
You've given me some new ideas, which I needed.
I gathered a set about tongues in baseball a couple of years ago.

You've made me think of facial pics of 'effort' or 'emotion.' Wish me luck, and thanks again.

As always,
thanks to each of you for your comments.
That encourages me to keep on the job
i.e. off the couch!

I was trying to say "some bigger than others" of course.
But NCAA says "all or none". Picky, picky, picky!
You can imagine the cost of feeding full-grown athletes....

Love your sense of humor, Sonny!
You always give me a smile to make my day.

I think you were having a LOT of fun shooting the game Wayne.
Good shooting! ;)

(I shoot AYSO Soccer that the Grand-kids are in. I'm always chasing that elusive DOF great capture.)

Thank you, Sonny.
Our baseball gives us lots of satisfaction in our senior years.
No children; so we appreciate the players volunteering to serve as our grandkids! A university team in the spring (and fall), and a town team in the summer.

Bill nailed it. It is an optical effect caused by your camera's rolling shutter, where an image is not exposed on the whole sensor at the same time. here is a great article explaining this phenomenon.

Thanks for sharing this link, Erik.
It's another excellent treatment of the subject.
(Makes sense to me, ha!)

Hi Wayne. Have you tried to up the shutter speed? You might has to Push the ISO up some too.
Erv

Yes, Erv, this past week I risked 'missing a shot' and tried to see how various settings would affect the pics. My preference in baseball pics is less blur; so I will increase the speed in my daylight shots and the ISO also. But seems there will be a limit to what my equipment will allow at night. I'll only be in a professional ballpark during playoffs (if then, ha!). So night-time lighting will be 'not great' at best and truly poor at worst. It seems apparent that 'sports mode' will not satisfy me at night.
Thanks for the suggestions.

this may be an optical illusion, I just watch a video on how a shutter works, watch the whole video, at the end he explains how taking a photo from a car window at speed makes the telephone pole"s look like they are bending..
just my thought
