Here is a pic from the game. Will post some more tomorrow.

Very impressive.. And Trotwoods kicking game was very Poor...

Isn't this one for USA?

Pics?? heheh

Finished processing all my pics and they should be posted soon. I wanted to post this one too even though it wasn't a game pics but from the Flag Ceremony.

Only thing I know offhand is like 51 yards passing (1 play) 250+ rushing...

Wow... Great game, Hard hitting and eventful throughout. I am glad I was there... Guru and I probably snapped about 1k in pics.

Looking forward to this game today, and I hope it is a good one like the T-BG game I was at Friday. Good luck...

Yes, that photo was made from 9 seperate photos of the stands. And you use tools to line up the matching parts, blend and balance the photos so exposures match in each view so you do not see dark and light bands from that. But if you could see the pic before I posted it, it would have been jagged on the top and bottom as the different pics had different focal lengths and FOV. So you loose some on those ends as you then need to crop for an cut on top and bottom. Also, I had to try a few different things, because when moving objects are involved sometimes you get replicated people or things not lining up right. for the most part this one was pretty clean. I shot this with the camera on the monopod, because the lens is to big to hand hold comfortably althought I have done it some around the house.

VR is not all that for sports photography. And here is why, VR typically doesnt kick in until you are shooting over 1/60 of a second which you would not use for shooting most things moving. So the VR part of that lens wont be helping you. I have the 18-200 VR, which unfortunately is not a constant 2.8, but is 3.5-5.6 and for shooting hand held at slow shutter speeds it is great.

Sorry if this is too wide. Here is one of the people in the Home stands.. I like to experiment while the Guru isn't cracking the whip. I stiched about 9 photos together to make this panorama.

Checked it out.. those are good.. Shooting from the the stands would be tough. I would like to get a wider lens, something up to 70mm for close ups etc.. but the lens I want costs 1800. I will be passing on it, as that is not in the budget any time soon.

Proof is in who posted the pictures... lol... I did take some of them though (The last one where they are way off the ground for sure), maybe not that particular one. hehe...

I shoot with Nikon Gear mostly. Unfortunately it is expensive and sometimes there are close calls on the sidelines. But I like shooting the games and this was a good one to be at.
