My First Field Pass

I had my first experience with shooting with the 'big boys and their big toys' on the field at the Univ. of Miami football game in the Orange Bowl stadium... I had a blast! And yes, this was the game BEFORE the team decided to try boxing as a second elective. :wink

I actually was asked to shoot the marching band, but of course, took a lil of everything.

    Congrats on getting on the field! You have some really good shots there! I recently got my first chance to shoot from the field too, it's pretty crazy being on the field with thousands of screaming fans! wings.gif

    Isn't it a little intimidatingwhen you get on the field and you see the pro guys with their 400 2.8's, 500's, and like 3 or 4 bodies? Makes you get major gear lust!eek7.gif

    oh yesssssssssssss.. I RENTED a 70-200 L lens for the day, just so I wouldn't look like a whimp with my lil 17-85 lens.. and I STILL felt like a peewee with that lens... and YES major lens envy... I need to buy the one I rented, but still counting my pennies with a few more gigs.
    I liked your Tenn Vol shots... I was there a few years back when the Uof Miami played there... it was a 'sea of orange' everywhere we looked.

    Yeah, there's always a sea of orange here on game day! It's pretty cool :D

    btw, In the shot you have of the guy with the beer shirt on (first pic), he has something taped to the side of his lens, I saw a few people with the same thing at the UT game. Do you have any idea what it's for? Is it a list of who they need to shoot? deal.gif

    yup, I would guess that is what the list is... I actually took the shot because of his 'beer shirt'.. thought it was funny, I noticed the list on the lens later.
