Home Forums Gear Photography Lens for sports photos?

Nice first effort. If your goal is to try to chronicle your son's time on the field, you might finnagle your way onto the sidelines to shoot. If your goal is to enjoy the game from the stands as a parent...carry on. Hard to do both well though.

I searched my archive for stadium shots. Problem is I don't do football and I don't do stadiums. I did find one where I was playing with your 60D's great grand daddy from the stands though (30D).

ISO800 (I think I kept it low because the grain really started at 1600). AV (shutter ended up at 400 - I would have liked higher though). 70-200 2.8 Mark I shot at 200mm f2.8.

p.s. I don' know if it's possible, but try to get your shutter speed up to minimize motion blur. You can see from my shots that even at 1/400 there's some noticeable blur.

p.p.s. A Nikon shooter crusing POTN?!! Nikon shooters posting on POTN??
