2013 FSU Spring Game

Part deux of a busy shooting day that started with the Seminole Invitational Track Meet, was the 2013  FSU Football Spring Game.  I was anxious to get a chance to try out the 400mm lens on the football field, and the opportunity didn't disappoint.

I found that the strategy for shooting with the long lens was significantly different than the short lens (as would be expected).  I could station myself in the end zone and shoot practically the entire field.  Nice!  Here's an interception that happened on the opposite twenty yard-line from where I was shooting.  I sure like long lenses...


Plays that happened around mid-field filled the entire frame, making for nice close-ups...


When the plays got closer is when it got more difficult to shoot with the long lens... particularly pass plays across the field.  It's hard to react fast enough to swing that big lens around and catch a reception, but I got one or two...



The game itself was the usual practice affair.  Fast, and not terribly exciting.  It's fun just being part of the atmosphere.  The alumni half-time flag-football is usually more exciting than the real game... a group of old (and not so old) guys out having fun like big kids.
