    NIU vs. Western Illinois

    This is my first Division 1 soccer game, well exhibition game. I finally got my hands on the Canon 400mm f/2.8L IS and I shot it with my Canon 1D Mk.II-N. So hopefully I get some reviews, thanks.

    Wowser! Very crisp shot with great action and some of the best blurred backgrounds I've seen in field sports shot. Very nice. - Terry

    Terry, thank you! It was amazing out there, just a nice green background and with that 400 at 2.8 the bokeh can't get any better. A few could be a little sharper hence I was at ISO 640 for most of them. But thanks for the comment.

    Very nice young man. Watch your horizons a bit as number four is tilted just a tad. It's your first time out with the 400 2.8 so you have to get used to moving around the lens instead of just swinging it around but you did great. Can't wait to see you in Huskie Stadium shooting football together. Yoohoo!
