So the game is over, the women lose and I'm thinking I need something different. I go and speak to my contact at the school and ask about shooting from the catwalk area above the floor, geat idea. Only problem was that he also invited my competition up as well. This guy

Oh Well, at least it was a great seat. Unfortunately I took several shots before going up and I forgot to adjust my settings back on the camera so I ended up with a bunch of blurry motion shots.:huh

But some did work so here are those

All in all it was a good time, and I think that the new lens will work out just fine. Be advised, all of these were directly from the camera without any processing except for resizing. I'm off tomorrow to explore another sport, Paintball. Will post when I get something. THanks for looking and have a great day.

    Good shots!

    How do you like the new lense? I received mine yesterday and have not had a chance to put it to use...I am replacing my old 300mm zoom that I dropped in the riverne_nau.gif So I decided to upgrade..I hope I have made the right choice. I was torn between the 75-300 IS or the 70-200 f4 without IS. I think I am going to be extremely happy with the lense, but I am worried about reach for football shots (from my stadium seat).

    Hope you enjoy yours lense

    Like you I was torn as well. Since the lenses I was using were old, anything I upgraded to was an improvement. The only problem that I see with it is User Error:D . I have a tendancy to shoot first and then look later at the settings. Sort of premature shutter release, but I am working on that. Anyway for what I am going to be using it for I like it alot.
