My football season is winding down with Friday/Saturday contests this weekend, next weekend and maybe beyond.
Friday night's game was in an older stadium with ancient lighting that required !SO 12,800/16000 but last night's game was under state-of-the-art LED lighting that allowed ISO 6400 but played under a constant driving snow and temps in the lower 30's however I just show up where and when I am told and photograph what's on the field at that given time.
I did find out that the D6 is a much more reliable camera under wet, cold and snowy conditions over the Z9 which conked out on me after the middle of the first quarter but the D6 didn't miss a play up until the final whistle.
