That guy beside you is hilarious! What does he have? It is funny if you look at the audience. Some people are watching the players, and some are watching the photographers.

Looks like a parabolic microphone. It has some form of sighting system. It has an antenna and with the Fox Sport logo, it has to be a microphone...
EDIT: on careful inspection, it is a microphone and is the same make as in the link.
In that case, it looks like it ranks right alongside the big-whites for price. It looks like there is another mic on the other side on the line of the three photographers. You can see his sparkly streamers, or whatever you call it.

The 'sparkly streamers' are the pompoms from the cheer leaders girls who have invisible camos on

It sure is a mic. There is one on each side of the field to capture the "real sounds" of the action.

I just shot the Yukon Quest, and there was a guy working for some TV channel that kept getting in my way sticking the mic right in front of the dogs as they went past. I had to find a different spot because he was SO annoying. Unfortunately, I only have pics of 70-200s from there. Actually, I have a shot of a Nikon guy with something like 15k of gear on a Gitzo and his shoulder, but that wouldn't do in this thread. About 80% of the photographers had a 70-200. A guess they didn't need anything longer. Bummer.

A little late to the party, but a picture of me shooting the Olympic Torch relay last week, taken by my co-worker (He was shooting an XSi, so I guess this doubles for "Canon in Action")...
A couple of shots of Canons in action from the Desert 400 racing in Bahrain. It seems that a large majority of shooters I've seen in the Middle East tend to shoot Nikon. Canon ME priceing seems to follow the European trends and here atleast they are more expensive and harder to obtain than the equivalent competition brands. So it was nice to see some big whites in action.
(... and just found the thread)
Talk about sounds of the real action.
