Another game, another dollar. No rain today, windy but no rain. Tomorrow will be another day. However today is a homecoming game so delays are numerous. -30-

Damn the iPhone, but it still rocks.

(Photo by Jonny Carroll) I can take a picture with a 400mm lens and hold it steady at slow shutter speeds. But for some reason in the picture you see of me trying to take a photo during a timeout of a football game i could not hold the iPhone steady enough to take a somewhat sharp photograph. Yes I know it's because the phone is compensating for the crappy light at the field thus the blurry photo.

My company 400 is going to the shop for repair. It's a work horse lens for me. I use it for sports and spot news. I take good care of the lens I guess the constant use of the lens wore out the parts.

Next update will be a soccer game on Friday then my vacation the following week. Maybe even some paintball.

Borrowed 400 and

Well I am back with a borrowed 400 as I patiently wait to shoot the University of North Texas, Tulsa University football game at Fouts Field. The only thing that will drive me crazy at this field will be the shadow that will come across the field at around 7pm. Its not to big of a problem but drives me batty because it's at least a four stop difference.

I will try to post from the field before or during a break in the game.

It's an hour before game time. Time to get the game face on.
