Interesting to me that sports images are never included in Flickr's Explore - the Best of Flickr. Guess this image isn't any good.

Scary play in the top of the third today at Hartford. BU had a runner on first and attempted a sac bunt but the bunt attempt was missed and the runner was clearly going to be out at 2nd. But no one told her that. I was on an 8 foot step ladder in left center with a 400mm + 1.4 TC and I had a remote firing from the third base dugout. Here's what I got . It was the third out of the inning and both players continued in the game after receiving attention by their respective trainers.

One more basketball game for me this season. Sunday my Hartford Hawks take on the Huskies of UCONN in the first round of the NCAA tournament at Gampel Pavilion.

Just a Junco

But she's pretty cute anyway. 400mm f/2.8 - 1.4TC so about 560mm f/4 - these were at about f/5.6 a varying shutter speeds and an exposure adjustment of about +.7 to adjust for the bright background. I sat in the snow for about 20 minutes before they would come back to the feeder and then I only stayed there for a few minutes because I was keeping them from dinner!
