Sports photography

Joanne got to play in the hat tournament. I got to babysit and take my first stab at sports photography while doing so! And doing it while not knowing what the heck I was doing. At all. All I know is what Joanne has taught me, which is use aperture priority.

This is the slideshow of the "best". A loose term since there's not much action, not much quality, but it's the best my rudimentary knowledge of the 30D can do (I simply find the manual unreadable) with the limited post processing capabilities of Picasa (which I should note, seem to be much more considerable/useful with the 30D than the A520 we previously used). Most have added fill light; I think all I one level of sharpness increase; about half have been cropped. All were taken with a canon 28-135 IS USM lens. Comments are in the photo captions.

Shooting at night is very tough. I finally gave up getting decent pictures because I had to push to 1600 or 3200 and it just got too grainy.
