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!
