It's go time y'all,
I'll save the specs until after the game... But anyway, I have an on-field media to a NCAA Div. 1 game in November. You bet your britches I'm pumped! :mrgreen: (Note: It will be an outdoor afternoon game).
I've been shooting Div. 1 high school football for a few years, so this is a big jump for me. The real question is; how small will my gear look next to the pros? :hail: No, I'm here to get your experiences with Div. 1 college ball, especially your first game you shot. What was your equipment setup; how did it perform? How did you perform? Assuming you shot sports before college, what did you shot and what did you notice was different? What is your advice to a high school football shooter?
My planned gear list:
-Canon 1D Mark IIN (rental) with Sigma 400mm f5.6
-Canon 1D Mark II (rental) with Sigma 70-210mm f2.8
-Canon 30D with Sigma 28-70mm f2.8
Will this suffice for my purposes? I do a fair amount of PP to my shots, so I'm not too worried about it being perfect in-camera. Do I think I can do this job? YES! Do I think it'll be SI cover worthy? No, but you never know... I don't think I'm insecure about this, I'm just looking for reassurance for such a big opportunity; this is portfolio-worthy stuff!
Any questions or concerns are definitely appreciated!
