Thanks!
What do you mean by range? Focol length of lens? All I have that gives me any kind of reach is a shamefully cheap Quantaray 70-300mm. Then I run up and down the sidelines as much as I can trying to keep the action coming toward me (I had quite the workout myself). I got lucky this time as all the teams and spectators took one side of the field, leaving the other to me and the AR. On top of that, the side they took was the side looking into the sun. When the action is on my side of the field, I find that 70mm is too close, and on the far side, 300mm is too far away. I've convinced myself that a BIGMA (see all caps Mike) is a necessity for this.
Originally posted by Damn Brit I look forward to you holding workshops on shooting football matches.
I have a question for you Mel; How the F do you do that, Pentax is no good for shooting sports?
Great work, you are the master (or is it mistress?).
Holding a workshop would imply that I actually have half a clue what I'm doing. And I think my personal Pentax is one of those freaks that got mixed up with some parts of something else in the factory because of course no REAL Pentax could ever handle action as fast as this.
Ummmm, mistress has some connotations that I would prefer to not have affiliated with my person thanks.
How about maybe "isn't too terribly bad with a camara?"
Thanks Gary.
