Had the opportunity to sit in some prime seats for the Yanks-Sox on May 22 (unfortunately for me, good for the Beaners - the Yanks lost). Since I was sitting right next to the photography box, the shooter for the New York Post noticed my Canon and asked if I wanted to borrow his 300mm 2.8 for a couple of shots - think I said no? All others taken with the 70-300DO IS...

Here's one shot (more at http://www.kt.smugmug.com/gallery/2919907#157352269 )

Regards...Keith

    Nice clear shot. I'm thinking that may be 300 is all i need for shooting football games. I really want something longer, but based on what i see it might be suffiicient. ne_nau.gif

    Keith - I checked out your gallery and you have a tons of really nice shots! You had great seats and did a really good job, it must have been fun. thumb.gif Nice shot of Matsui at the dish, and some good one's of Manny and Ortiz, too.

    I see you also noticed Tina Cervacio from NESN.mwink.gif

    Thanks...
    I had a blast, and my son was in awe. Only downside is next time i get seats in the rafters, my kids are going to think I was punished...

    regards...Keith

    [would have brought my 400mm, but i don't think they would have let it into the stadium. 70-300DO IS was the best I could do, but that photog was awfully nice lending me his $4000 lens for a few shots!

    Regards...Keith

    Dj -
    I was sitting with a guy from beantown who pointed her out and said, "I'd really like a shot of her..." so I happily obliged...
