Jim, I must say the way you showed the focus points through each shoot, was the absolutely terrific. That's the first video I have ever seen that done that!👍👍👍
Terrific video. It is tough keeping one eye on the pitcher and one looking through the lens at the batter. Usually the batter will give a sign as the ball is released such as raising the bat, taking a step or even just a facial expression. It's not easy but that's why we get "the big bucks". LOL
Thanks for sharing, Jim. It was very informative. I noticed your focus point often hit the pitcher's torso or the batter's hip. At f2.8 and a shallow depth of field, did you find images where the players' faces were outside the the focal plane and not as sharp?
Michael Waterman - If I were zoomed in really tight then I'd have to zoom in on the eye, but these were more environmental showing the whole body and scene around the body, so there was no problem with the depth of field being too shallow.
i currently shoot with a canon 50d and i use a 55-250mm lens for the time being until i have enough money for the 70-200mm 2.8 how many focal points should i use while shooting baseball say for example the senior league world series? and we aren't allowed in the dugout ( if we are shooting for a blog such as i am doing at the present time)
Wow, you'd think someone who can speak English would also be able to spell. I became more focused on catching all the grammatical errors than the photo tips themselves. I mean confusing the word "picture" and "pitcher"? C'mon, dude. You really should proofread your own copy before committing the text to your tutorial(s).

@ 3:47 "and for my motor drive I'm obviously on continuous high" - dial is on continuous low.
Out of all the sports videos I've seen.This is far away the best. Explained well.
That was soo good but can you share the settings you used when the sun went down?

Thanks Michael! Glad it helped.
Jim Harmer Hi Jim, how big of a portfolio would i need if i want to get into the major league sporting events like tennis and soccer.
