I Think We Are Done!

Gary taking photos of me! Yeah I am finally in one!

Smile!

I rented the lens for one more weekend. Of course it rained for half the game. Then the coach did not play Vincent for the first half. And when he did he only kept him in for a short time. We are not sure what the deal is with the coach. While Vincent was in he made a goal and then the lines man said it was off sides. But it really was not. We were all right there.

Good thing I took alot of shots of Vincent while he was in that short time.




They ended up losing the game 0-1. As soon as they took Vincent out they scored. We think they are out of the tournament. So this was probly the last game with this team. He still has an indoor team he plays for.
Sammamish High School soccer tryouts start next month. That will be fun to see how that all works out. Go Sammamish! This is the same school I went to High School at.
Soon I can post about other stuff besides Soccer! I am looking for things.

Huge Camera Lense for the Weekend! Soccer of course!

Last weekend Gary rented me a cool lens to try out. It was not too much to money. It was fun to try something new. I would never be able to afford to buy this lens. It retails for about $6,000. I could never imagine spending that much. But I am sure if it was your job, that is another story.
Here are a few of the photos I took. I went kind of crazy and took way too many photos. I saved about 500 from this game. The parents were excited about all the great photos of their kids. Unfortunately this game was one of the few that Vincent did not play too much. Good timing. If you want to see all 500 let me know, I will send you the link. :-)
The lens if much heavier that i am used to. My mono pod was not working great so I had to carry it most of the time. My arms were sore the next morning. I only used it for half the game.
I think I will give it another try this weekend with a better mono pod to hold it.
