Sarah's Last Game of the Season

Well, Sarah's team lost their last game of the season, but they still won the championship, so no harm done. She was a bit bummed about the loss as she played pretty well. Not to sound too biased, but the ump was terrible tonight and cost them a few runs and perhaps the game. I won't show his blown calls here, but suffice to say he missed them.

A quick note for you fellow photogs out there: For this game, I shot it with my Mark III, the 300 2.8 IS and my new 2x converter. Essentially, I was shooting at 600 5.6. The game was at 7:00 with heavy clouds and a setting sun, so at times had the ISO as high as 2500. Still, I was fairly impressed with how the 2x performed. The last image below is without it. All of these images are full frame, no cropping. The 600 does have some reach and on a 1.3 body, it's really more like 780mm.



After the game, the girls got their medals. Sarah was still mad about losing the game. Now, we wait for fall soccer and more t-ball. Word has it her coach wants to take her and his daughter and move to a more competitive team / league. We'll see. And we still have the year-end party to attend.
