Good idea, will fire up photoshop ( elements) as the week goes on

Beat me to it by milliseconds.

"Convert to black and white" is my default setting though.  Hence, typing a bit quicker. 

 

And, look, a black and white photo of one bit of Pendennis Castle taken from another bit of Pendennis Castle:

Hard ND GRad filter needed on that one I think Mr John, either pre-processing (too late now) or post processing.

Grad filters, eh?

 

That, Mr Padge, may be a very good idea.

Having your ISO set wrong shouldn't make your pictures dark, it may make them grainy but not dark. ISO 400 shouldn't be an issue.

 

Actually you've done quite well as in the sort of shot its often difficult to get detail in the whites which you have achieved.  The metering has probably got it right.

 

In your processing software drag the midtones toward the highlight end and you'll lift the darkeness in the background.

 

Edit: Just noticed your exposure bias was set to -1 EV, that is probably why a couple of shots are a bit dark in the mid-ranges.

With cricket in bright sun its usually best to underexpose and try pull back the shadows in post or if using Nikon use Active D Lighting
