[QUOTE="Krs_2007, post: 483000, member: 12948"] Multiple ways to cut the ambient light, which mans the sun in your situation. If the photo is bright you can adjust the shutter speed up, close down the aperture or decrease the ISO. you are already shooting at ISO 100, so nothing to do here. If you are concerned with background compression (out of focus area), then don't close down the aperture. So the first option in sports is going to be the best option. Bump the shutter speed up by 1-2 stops. I can't tell you what that would be on your camera without knowing if you use 1/2 or 1/3 stops. But normally I shoot around 1600. I don't care for blur in my shots unless there is a rare situation or I can't prevent due the situation. So with this said I always shoot fast enough to freeze the action. Baseball is a little trickier due to the size of the ball, but with larger ball sports like rugby you can do a few other things based on the situation. The best option is monitor the lighting and take pictures with different shutter speeds and aperture settings. I will use the grass to meter on, take a test shot with the in camera meter sitting at zero and go from there. Point your camera at the grass and adjust the shutter speed till the marker is on zero, this will give a good starting point but remember as the game goes on and the fades you have to adjust.
