K20D Burst Mode - Batter up

K20D Burst Mode - Batter up · 11:03 PM

I called our first practice today. Slo-Pich season starts Monday assuming no snow/rain

Here's one of our younger members @bat. We are slowlyy replacing us 'expereinced folks' with our offspring haha.

I was playing around with Burst mode. I will only show the middle 4 , there are 3 shots before this and 4 after. Works well - good for web shots for sure and 4x6 prints.

Even at 1/1000 shutter speed the ball is blurred ....

Tamron 70-200 , f6.3, 1/1000, 107mm, ISO 400

When you say burst mode is this the 20 fps or the 3 fps?

Nice shots by the way.

Thanks Dom - yes 20fps or so ... hand held in mid afternoon light.

Nice capture of contact. Makes me look forward to moving up to the K20 one day.

Nice series, Dave. I'll have to try burst mode myself sometime.

Jim - I think it would work well for a bird just abouut to take off - or one catching a fish - I would like to try it for wildlife for sure ....

So you have been relegated to umpire duties Dave
Must say that nothing will escape your eyes now

cheers

An interesting series. And I think a little blur on the ball is welcome. The human eye does not see that kind of stop-mode action, much like we don't see the frozen faces and waves of surfers before a big wave hits them. I wonder if can use burst mode to see how quickly my kids get up to volunteer for some chores!

Wow, I am amazed, did not know the burst mode could be that useful!

Two years ago the youngest player was 40 now we have my daughter, my niece , one of her friends and another couples boy playing all under 22 - hey somebody has to drive home after the games
