Hardest conditions to shoot in....

[CardiacCats]

hey zod did you take that picture that's in the observer of olsen's td?  the ball is still in the air but it shows him wide open and you see the fans in the background with their hands in the air because they know it's gonna be a TD, but the ball is still in the air.  it's an awesome picture, but in the observer it's not in color.  do you know where i could find this picture in color @zod?

I find it difficult to shoot when the visibility is bad or there's a high wind and you're at a far distance. Obviously, a moving target adds to the difficulty, but if you've got a good scope and you've kept your barrel really clean, then there isn't as much...

Wait, what are we talking about? :unsure:

arent all NFL stadiums oriented in the same compass configuration?  North to south?

[Hawk]

I've always wanted to know that too CBD!

 

Seattle is north to south, yes

Sometimes, when the job is as tough as yours, (photographing Tampa Bay Cheerleaders), you just have to suck it up and keep on going.

[AceBoogie]

Yes, and I was on the shade side freezing my ass off. It usually warms up around the 2nd quarter, but never did.

Really it depends on the conditions. I shoot A and M mode depending on whats happening.

I'm trying to figure out what the hell I'm going to do on monday night football.

[Fan01]

Can't you just sync your flash with the stadium lights and use them as giant strobes?  

 

And just how far can you zoom in with one of those lens that are as big as my leg?
