What Did You Shoot This Weekend?

Michael,

Congrats on the Apple Cup win. Now we have to beat the dogs and we go to a real bowl game for the first time. I am nervous. I don't think I am going to bother to shoot the Washington game. I am just going to watch and (hopefully) enjoy it. I have slide show of the Boise State-Hawaii game at www.cbabbitt.com. Sorry for the shameless pimping of my site.

Wilson: I just love your shots. I know these are no flash. Care to share your lenses. Looks

like some wide to tele. Is it a 24-70? Or did you use two lenses?

 

I wasn't particularly happy with anything I shot for sports last week. I was mainly shooting

portraits and on vacation. This is one of my better shots. Thanksgiving Day, local high

school football, dense fog so I had to do everything really close. (by the way Wilson, last

week's shot was a 70-200/2.8 lens, which is how I was able to shoot at f/3.5)<div>00NTDn-40065184.jpg.10cf5dee2c48a84d752f0a45a3817813.jpg</div>

Paul, I like that photo! I have a newbie question. I see AF = auto focus, but what is S? 300mm is focal length, but what is 4,1. (I understand f/4 and iso 800.) Thanks!<br>

Here is what I shot last night. This is the only corner of the gym where I get good light. <br>

Thanks Marcy. Is this school near Boston? I used to play basketball against the St. John's

Eagles. Anyway, AF-S means silent wave motor inside the lens. It allows the focusing to be

faster than the previous generation of just plain AF lenses. 300mm/4 is the focal length and

the maximum aperture, 1/1000s is shutter speed, f/4 is the aperture is was shot at (i.e.,

wide open). ISO = shutter speed. This is usual the information I like to give when I post

images. For some reason I feel it's important to post the technical details. That's just me

being anal. I never checked the images posted here to see if there is any EXIF data in them.
