Yep, that’s right – FOOTBALL SEASON!
It’s hot. It’s sweaty. I have to carry a lot of equipment and send photos from a laptop in the bleachers. But it’s a pretty good way to make a living, if I do say so myself!
On Thursday night I went out to the Lehman High School vs. Canyon Lake High School scrimmage in Kyle for the New Braunfels Herald Zeitung.
I rented a 300mm f2.8 lens to try it out and see what I thought. (I’m still debating about which I should buy – the 300 f2.8 or the 200-400 f4.) I liked it, but honestly, I don’t think I couldn’t have gotten the shots I got by standing 5 yards closer with my 80-200mm f2.8. I’m leaning toward the 200-400 f4 instead.
Anyway, it was your typical scrimmage. Everyone played, no one kept score. Lots of fumbles!
I also caught a nice sequence of a sack/fumble.
And to celebrate the start of football season, here’s a celebration shot:
