These photos were taken at a tournament in Rockford Illinois last week. Given that this was my first time shooting outdoors since last fall, I once again tried using my Nikon 1.4x extender mounted to my Nikon 300mm f/2.8 lens. If you recall, last year I felt that I got too many soft photos when using the 300mm lens connected to the extender. This time, however, more of my shots were tack sharp with the extender. I'm not quite sure why. Maybe it's due to the brightness of the day that allows the lens to auto focus faster. For each of these shots the camera / lens setup was mounted to a monopod. The shots were taken in manual mode (1/3200 shutter speed, f/4.0 aperture, using the Auto ISO setting on my Nikon D300 camera body).
