Description

iso 200, 370mm (Canon 100-400L IS USM), f/7.1, 1/500m, no post processing...We went to a Seattle Mariners practice game today against their AAA farm team the Tacoma Rainiers. Cheney Stadium in Tacoma was packed, weather was pitiful. 9000 attendance. It's tough with a yard long lens trying to wind your way thru a bunch of kids with baseballs.....:-)
