Giants Game (Bummer)

I'm in Love,....... With the cameras

I am always hearing about how pros never use the supplied neckstraps with their equipment, but here is a prime example. In my experience most of us do, because we are a cheap lot, we have our priorities when it comes to what we spend our money on...lol.

 

Nice shot!

 

BTW.. I have a lucky neckstrap. I have been using it since I bought my first camera years ago. Its one of the original RWB Canon EOS straps, and I have used it on every EOS camera that I have owned.

I go to the Giants game with my 10d with my 70-200 f4l, 1.4 extender and my 28mm and guess what.... I was not allowed to bring my big lens into the stadium. So here I am with my 10d and a wide angle lens trying to take some photos.

Two pro's standing there with thousands in equiptment, and the only one taking a picture is the guy on the right with a p&s.

You can buy a 1D MK II N too, all it takes is $3,999,99, you already have a 70-200, shell out another $5000 for a lens and your set....

I feel your pain about not be able to bring in lenses. The Stanley Cup came to The Orleans arena last month, The promo stated, get your photo taken with the cup for only $5 donation. I called ahead and asked if I can bring my camera and was told no by the ticket office. What really ticked me off was the promo meant, $5 donation and you can take a picture with YOUR camera with the cup. The never told the ticket booth it was ok for that game, and my camera phone just didnt cut it.

I like this pic, would love to be on the other side of it one day!

The shot speaks volumns. They still won't let him in with his big lens. f/64

I hate pictures like this.

 

Not because they're bad pictures.

 

It's because they make me really, REALLY jealous. :-(
