[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 649357, member: 11881"] Shot a lot of this, but it's been some time. From memory, I liked a shutter speed of 1/1000-1200 (this is the shutter speed I preferred to get blur of the bat/ball) and aperture of f/5. As to where to stand, some of that will be dictated by where you can stand. For the batter, I liked being down the first base line as most will be right handed. Of course, you will have to contend with coaches and umpires getting in the way. Shooting the pitcher, and those pesky left handed people, third base works. I also like to shoot the pitcher from behind home plate. If you get close to the fencing, manually focus on the pitcher, the auto focus will do well staying on the pitcher and the fencing will disappear - takes a little practice. Scoring the best shots of the batter came from learning body language. The batters always clenches or tightens up just before the ball arrives. Once I dialed in on this body clenching, I could pretty consistently get the ball in the frame. The 70-200 and teleconvertor will work. [/QUOTE]
