Day 129

11/16/10
"Badgers take Flight"

I took this photo at the UW Mens Basketball game versus North Dakota. I noticed there that I seemed to have a better concept of photography than some of the folks with press passes, though some had more expensive lenses. I really enjoyed photographing the game and I might try to find a way to do this more often.

Here are a LOT of photos that I took with that great Nikkor 80-200mm lens yesterday at Packers Training Camp.

Day 38

8/17/10
"Rodgers Looks to Throw"

Lets get beyond the similar title to a previous photo right away. Tonight was a great night for shooting some frames. I got to get out with my friend Elizabeth, and met some interesting photographers, and of course someone had a bigger lens than I did, but this time not by much. Thanks to my friend Mike's dad, I got to try out a Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8 lens. The depth of field was incredible, and therefore the bokeh was great too, but my main goal was to shoot as many distance shots that I couldn't get last time I came out to practice. I had a lot of great shots, so many that I ended up processing 68 of my 125 shots (I took more than that, but thats the number I transfered on to my computer). I'll post more later as bonus shots, but for right now, heres my pick for the day. To give you an idea of the composure of the shot, I was at the south goal line, and they were doing passing drills at the 50. So 50+ yards away in this photo, clear as day.
