Camera Talk

Hi, all -

The last lacrosse tournament for my son's summer team was this weekend. Took the 70D and the Sigma 70-200/2.8 and 2X TC with. Some grabs from the two day event below.

I love watching him play, and the game gets more, um, interesting, as the kids get bigger. But by this time every year, I'm ready for it to be done, and I know the boy is ready for a break.

FWIW, I think in the off season now I'm going to be selling the 70-200 and the 2X TC (and the 8x10 rig/lenses/holders/film), opting instead for a 100-400L. Need a little more reach and I don't shoot without the TC as often as I'd like to justify the faster lens. So if anyone's interested (hin hint)...

Thanks, as always, for looking.

Excellent action shots, Scott.

What Phil said. I am envious of shots like this -- sharp, clear ones taken in action and showing what is going on. Excellent. I almost never succeed in those situations!

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. I have fun shooting the kids' sports. Rapid-fire shooting, a lot of culling, get lucky sometimes.

I'm actually thinking now that I'll get an older body to dedicate to the Sigma lens and keep the 70D for the newer glass. A 40D is a lot cheaper than a 100-400L, and the f/2.8 is nice to have at times.
