Telephoto Lens! Yes!

Postby Mikell » Wed Dec 28, 2011 10:58 am

My husband got us tickets for the Bills/Broncos game on Christmas Eve in Buffalo...and as we were driving on the way to the game, he asked me if I would like an early xmas present. From the back of the car came a beautifully wrapped box...and inside was a new Canon EFS 55-250mm lens! He knew that I would have the perfect opportunity to use it at the game. Here are are a few of the MANY photos I took. If I was younger, I'd pursue a career in sports photography...it was the most fun I've had taking pictures! And the Bills won!!!! :)

Well...our seats weren't THAT good...but the stadium wasn't full and I walked down to near ground level, below our end/corner seats and found an empty row...took a bunch of pre-game warm up shots and stayed there for most of the first quarter to get some better shots. I was mostly using "sports" mode (continuous shooting) and was shocked to find out afterwards that I took about 1,200 pics! hahaha

The 5th, 6th, and 2nd to last ones are excellent action shots!
I see you captured Tebow's Uncle Rico throwing form with the first one. :groucho:
