POTD - Things I Can't Live Without

All winter long, I go through softball withdrawal! DH and I seriously are bored in the winter because we are constantly at the ball field for softball league and tournaments from May-October. Unfortunately I can't play anymore due to injuries but I still love watching DH play. Here's a few I took from his game the other night. I haven't used my 70-300mm since last September. I'm looking forward to practicing with it all summer and get used to the weight again. It's definitely not as sharp as my 85mm but you can't beat the zoom! Some day I'll get the 70-200mm f2.8 VR . . . some day ;) Just trying a little artsy photo here. I'll be looking for more of these type of shots throughout the tournaments. Love how the dust is covering him here.
Oh and did I mention the eye candy at all the games. Makes it a little easier to make the games LOL! Shhh don't tell DH!
Does this look bad? In color his face is slightly out of focus. So I thought I'd try a conversion and see if would help.
Tried another artsy type of shot, well I don't know that it's artsy but anyway. I know other teams will have all their bags hanging all lined up and I'm looking forward to shooting some of those shots.
