    I shot the local H.S game today since my pay gig was postponed due to wet fields in north Jersey.
    It was overcast, which I like all shot with the d2X and the 300 2.8 with 1.4 tele

    Hey Mike,

    Spot on as usual. I have got to find some lacrosse to shoot. Yours and Mark's shots are just driving me nuts. Keep them coming!

    Great shots as usual Mike. You and Frank (Eng45ine) should think about running a photo clinic for sports shooting. I really admire the creamy look you get ..... ofcourse the timing, composition, colors and sharpness is great as in all your shots. Outstanding Mike!

    Great shots Mike, as usual. Someone else used the word that best describes your shots. "Smooth". While there are others in this forum that post great shots that are sharp with great colors, yours have a smoothness that I don't see in anyone elses. Just my opinion and I don't mean to offend anyone.

    Mike these are great. Not only are they sharp as tacks, but to make it better you captured the intensity of the athletes. My hat's off. Now I have a target to emulate.

    Mode: Aperture Priority with aperture somewhere between wide open to f/8 depending on the DOF I need.
    WB: according to skies
    AF-Continous focusing
    Metering: matrix
    EV compensation: pending highlights
