First time out with the new to me Canon 1DX and the 70-200 f2.8. Still getting use to the new format from Nikon to Canon, but starting to really like this one.

Joe enchanting captures! Love the color harmonies...
Great composition with the batters by keeping the entire length of the bat within the frame...
And as Paul suggests maybe increase your shutter speed a tad or so...
Even with slow pitch softball 1/1600 at a minimum w/ 200mm glass is typically SOP...
Here are examples at various shutter speeds for softball

Juicesqueezer nice job for your first time. I agree with Thomas about the shutter speed. Keep shooting it take a lot of practice. I have been shooting for 40 years and I am still practicing.

My usual comment remains. Freezing the ball within the frame is NOT the goal. The better shot shows a LITTLE motion. Best of luck.

I agree, having shot at higher speeds, it stops the ball and I was not looking for that in these photos. However, I do agree that I should have increased the shutter just a tad bit more to show a little less motion. Still getting use to the Canon from Nikon, but I do love the color this camera delivers and the tracking focus, which is a lot better than on my D4.

Speed that shutter up, let that 1DX Breathe a little. It can handle it.
Agree!

Thank you for your comments! I will see what my shutter speed was, but I believe it was close to 250. Will post the info!
