The Blog for the Sports Gamer Three guys who love Sports Gaming rant and rave about various stuff.

Random stuff

Thanks for the feedback on the images I posted the other day.  I have finally gone thru the entire shoot and really only got a couple more that stand out.  I determined that I need some better gear if I'm going to shoot sports.  I made the first move this weekend and bought a new camera body.  I picked up a Rebel T2i.  18MP, but the most important part to me is that the noise at ISO 1600 is about the same as the noise at ISO 400 on my Rebel XT and Lightroom can clean it better too.  So I now feel like I can shoot 2 stops faster with the same lens.  I do want to pickup a new lens, but the one I want (70-200 2.8 IS II) is $2,500 and out of my budget right now.  Here's a link to what I think was the best picture I got at the game.  It's an INT for the Georgia Force. http://www.flickr.com/photos/craigtompkins/5618737155/

I went to the Gwinnett Braves (AAA) last night as they hosted Norfolk Tide (Orioles).  I was able to go in about 2 hours before the game and watch the Tide take BP and warmups.  The SS looked farmiliar, but I didn't know why.  Then I recognized his name during the lineups.  It was Nick Green, who played for the Red Sox in 2009.  Green actually pitched 2 no hit innings in the 8th and 9th against the White Sox that year.  I always liked and hope that he gets called up somewhere again soon.

As for gaming, yea, um, I haven't played much of anything.  Not even MLB2K11 which I do still enjoy.  Just too much other stuff going on right now that is taking priority.  I will make time for Duke Nukem for sure - yes even if it bombs.  I'll be picking up the PC version, but will definilty be interested in seeing which system it sells best on.  I'm going to guess the 360.
