    Yeah, JS.......the light is awful, just awful. The only way to get around it is a 2.8, which I can't afford. I'm left to trying to correct in my imaging software.

    Brent, I guess my post processing is getting better then...
    The sun was going down over the LF grandstand, and that was leaving shadows on the players' faces (those with their backs to the sun). I had to lighten it and do some minor adjustments in levels to get it to where you could see the second baseman's face clearly. Plus this monitor is a little darker than my other, so I'm not always sure if what you see is what I see. I need to get some calibration software.
