Let's Play BaseBall!!!

[Yapster]

Hi all,
Finally out from Reservist~

Went for a walkabout shoot from Raffles Place to my target Bugis~ Hmm, nothing much caught my eyes along the way until i remembered that during my walk last week (weekend can bookout) that there is an interschool baseball competition or event going on. But i couldn't get any shots as i only brought my 35mm f2.

And so i quickly make use of my 18-135 to capture some shots. Hmm, as the aperture for this lens is small, i've no choice but to increase my ISO to 250 in order to catch them properly.

So far, only 5 shots processed. As for the rest, hmm, i need to think how i can bring the feel out.

Choose to post here instead of reportage and sports section as i don't think i am up to it to post there~ Hahaha~

And so, here's my shots to share~ Enjoy~

And oh ya, i ended my shoot at City Hall anyway. Shag leh...

Hehe, hey, grumpy bro~ I'm BACK on the street~ Haha.

Oh, purpose of desat and partial colour is to bring out the players. As i couldn't get a good angle and my lens is not fast and sharp enough to focus on the player with a good bokeh, i guess using selective colouring will bring out my focus of the shot more~

Hmm,should i trade my 105mm macro for a 80-200 f2.8?
