Shot a fun game today in which the outcome wasn't determined until the final two minutes.

For sports a 2.8 lens is a must-have. At levels such as high school you can get such poor lighting the 2.8 really helps plus, the bokeh you get with your main subject popping out really makes an image. Tack on a great camera body and it's a great combination.

Wow, they look fantastic!

I can't wait for the day til I can afford the 300 f2.8

Love the second and the last ones Chris. Great job as always. I might get a chance to shoot some college football next week, Sunbelt Conference, hope it pans out.

Hope it works out for you. Division I college football is so much different than high school. The game is so much faster, the sidelines are packed, there are cables and wires running everywhere that can trip you up and you'll find your self running up and down the sidelines to get posiiton. The first DI game I did I was exhausted at the end but the best part was - it was daylight!! Enjoy!
