Football has come and gone...

The last home game took place Saturday and the Cowboys walked away with a win. My best shot ended up being of the Texas Tech quarterback. OSU shut down Tech's passing game - they had a season-low in passing yardage.



This was taken from the end zone with a 600mm lens - I finally got the hang of it. Too late to do any good, though. It does get a little hectic taking the teleconverter off, which you have do do when a team gets near the red zone. It's a short time window when you know something big will be coming up.

Tech's pass-heavy offense was really tough to shoot. Getting good receptions in a photo is probably my big weak spot when it comes to football. I'm getting better at guessing which receiver will get the ball, but bringing my camera up to focus on him is still difficult.

In a career update, I've been busy. Three assignments for the World last week, two of which were OSU basketball. It was my first time really transmitting photos on deadline, which was interesting. Anyway, I'm looking into getting a pro-level 200mm lens with the check - a piece of gear that I REALLY need.
