My work cameras have been in the shop for the past two weeks. Hopefully, I will be getting one of them back fairly soon. Fingers-crossed. In the meantime, I have been shooting with a Canon 5D with a 24-105mm f4 lens. That is it - no more, no less. In the meantime, I have had to shoot all of the regular assignments given to any night shift photographer, including sports. In some way, it has made me work differently the past couple of weeks. I cannot rely on a fast shutter, which makes it difficult to catch all of the high action shots and I can't rely on a zoom, which means I can only shoot in close proximity.
This week I am posting a couple of shots that I made during a softball game. Since I couldn't rely on action shots alone, I shot some little team features, which I liked.
