A Night at the Ballgame

Spent last Friday evening at the local minor league ballpark, taking some photos of the Albuquerque Isotopes game, the stadium, and people at the park. I was trying out a 400mm f5.6 Canon lens that I was hoping to purchase from a co-worker (and since have).



Even in relatively low light, I managed several nice shots with this lens, along with my Tamron 70-200mm f2.8 and Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 zooms, which are nice fast zooms, although I have lens fever now that I've had one of Canon's USM lenses in my hands - very smooth, fast focus.

I plan on using this lens on an Idaho trip next weekend. We'll be up there visiting family and spending 5 days in the Driggs, Idaho/Grand Teton area. This lens will be great for some long reach when we various birds and wildlife.

On to the pictures, hope you enjoy!

Hei, "the catcher walking back to the plate" shot is pretty awesome.
And few more, I like the overall feeling of this post. As well the wide angle shots at the end there :)
