"Are you from the newspaper?" an elderly man asked me, as I snapped away with my happy trigger finger. "Or perhaps you are from TV?" he jested. People tend to get curious when I bring my camera out in public, it's one of the fun things about it. People often ask me about my gear and comment on what I'm shooting. "Nope, I'm just a hired amateur, shooting a friend" I answered.
Last time I shot a game, I switched lenses after halftime. However, since the macro lens turned out to be the better of the two for this particular motif, I didn't bother this time. The risk of motion blur is preferable to the limited zooming capability of my other lens. I love being able to get up close to the action from a distance, and thankfully it did its job well.So, how went the game you may wonder? It ended 1 - 0, and my friend won, scoring the winning goal himself. Congratulations Nimmers, great showing!

ReplyDeleteNatalie, I just wanted to say you did a great job.. fantastic photos and how fortunate that your friend also scored the winning goal. I guess you also brought luck to the team.
All the best, Maggie :-)
Thank you Maggie :). I have to say, I've never enjoyed watching a football game this much before, it's a lot of fun watching it through the lens of a camera.
