Lets Shoot Some Baseball

It is time for the IHSAA State Baseball Tournament.  Today I am fortunate to be able to go an shoot the 1A, 2A and 4A games. The games are once again at Victory Field, home of the Indianapolis Indians.  What does it take to shoot this event today?  Lots of gear, the bag will be packed!

Camera Body: 

• Canon EOS 1Dx
• Canon 5D Mark III

Lenses: 

• Canon 16-35 f2.8L II 
• Canon 70-200 f2.8L II IS
• Sigma 120-300 f2.8 DG OS (New version)

Other Items: 

• Lexar and Sandisk 64Gb and 32GB memory cards. A few older 16Gb cards for backup.
• Canon 600EX RT flash and Canon ST-E3 remote
• Gitzo Carbon Fiber Mono-pod.
• Spare batteries for cameras and flash.
• Veloe wireless remote 
• GorillaPod
• Lexar Card reader, Dellultrabook and Verizon 4G MiFi.
• Porlarizer filters
• Canon 1.4x Teleconverter

I hope to be able to setup the 5DIII manually focused on 2nd base for a part of the game, mounted to the GorillaPod inside the dugout.  With the wireless remote I'll be able to quickly capture any plays at 2nd.

Today's images are to be used by the National Federation of State High School Associations. Yes, my day-time job. :-)

Time to pack it up and get to the ballpark!

May in Indy... 500 time!

May is finally under way for me. In Indianapolis May is all about the 500.

Today I stopped by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to pick up my credentials! It was great to hear the cars on track. I will be out there taking photos on the next two Fridays. I look forward to posting photos starting this weekend.

Fun times!
