    Nice work Frank...
    I might have to consider the 300mm F2.8 next.. But first I have to win the lotto to afford it... :)

    Thanks Dave and Craig for the kind words. I love shooting sports, it often frustrates me, but I love shooting sports.

    Excellent Frank.....

    Was he safe at first.. Close call.

    By the way... I have been meaning to...THANK YOU FOR THE WORK YOU DO !!!!

    I love the Firemen and the EMT..Such a stressful and huge responsibility you all carry on your minds and shoulders.. your work and devotion to man kind is beyond words. The best there is.

    I photograph them often. One of these day I will get the photos printed for them and bring to thier respective stations.

    God Bless you ALL !!!!!!!

    Aw, Thanks Gale...very nice words, I appreciate that very much. The fire service is a special vocation and I am privileged to be a small part of it. I work for a small municipal department...65 uniformed personnel working out of two firehouses. Twenty-one per shift...most of us a paramedics as well. When I started my career, we responded to about 900+ calls per year (1978)...last year we responded to 7500+ (2004). I am blessed to work with some of finest people on this earth...and with the click of a microphone, the rest of the best come to help from their respective departments.

    Thanks again for your sincere acknowledgment to us and those that serve in our military. :)

    Great shots Frank. can you share some exposure data with us?

    Many years ago in the time of film I used to shoot little league games just for fun until the parents kept asking if they could buy them. I had much more time then and really supported my habit with that. Shoot one night and have the prints at the next game.

    You also must have a pretty open field. Most of the "new" fields around here have 6 foot high fences clear out to the outer fence. Gotta protect the spectators you know.

    BTW, wish I could get up there for the water and air show. Last air show I went to was in Springfield this spring and the Blue Angles performed at 2pm. the sun was directly behind them. Crap for pics. You should have a good sun angle.

    Good luck.

    Hey Greg,

    Thanks so much for the kind words. All of these images were taken with my D2H and 300mm f/2.8on a monopod...using Aperture Priority

    Image #1 was shot at 1/8000 second, aperture f2.8, ISO 400

    Image #2 was shot at 1/1500 second, aperture f2.8, ISO 200

    Image #3 was shot at 1/5000 second, aperture f2.8, ISO 400

    The only PS work was cropping and USM.....

    Thanks for asking, Greg...and there's plenty of room to my left and right at the upcoming Air and Water Show for anyone interested in attending!!! Don't be shy!!!
