400mm's and the Referee/Umpire conspiracy

Yesterday and today I shot some CSU baseball using Canon's 400mm f/2.8L IS lens... that thing is a BEAST! There's certainly a steep learning curve when stepping up to that monster (it weighs 11.8 lbs).

Megan Lombard makes the tag at second base during a game versus Wright State on Feb 24th.

When CSU hosted Wisconsin as part of a softball tournament, I saw one of the weirdest plays I've ever witnessed:






Nothing like a homerun to put a smile on your face!
