There were a few “problems” which I was not used to.
1 – distance. Even a 400mm was a little short. You would be better off with a 600mm lens.
2 – sun – very harsh sunlight, casting harsh shadows on faces, especially with the batter’s hat.
3 – angle – you were limited to some areas where you could be to take photos. Not always the best angle for capturing the action. You could move around at least, to try different angles.
I tried to capture a bit of everything from the event. It was enjoyable, but I wouldn’t fancy doing it all the time.
