Hey my first post, seeing as how I found FM though this topic, I feel it's fitting.
Minneapolis Star Tribune photographer David Joles lining up a shot at a photo shoot. Sorry for the tight framing, but he let me use his 1D Mark II N and 70-200 2.8 IS and given the indoors nature, it wasn't the best use of the lens. I also didn't have anything like this in mind when I shot it. The second picture is essentially the same, but from a different perspective also when he was switching locations, so he isn't looking through the viewfinder. Joles is using a 1D Mark II N with an unknown lens.
Minneapolis Star Tribune photographers Tom Wallace and Kyndell Harkness at photo shoot in Downtown Minneapolis. Pictured here is the 5D with a 16-35 f/2.8 lens. (Shot with Powershot S3 IS)
A little about myself: I am the photo editor for the Augsburg College Echo, our weekly paper. I do nearly all the photography for the paper in addition to writing the occasional article. I currently own a Canon Powershot S3 IS, but I'm going to upgrade as soon as I find way to pay for it.

On the left is Dave Sanders, photographer for D3sports.com. On the left is Rick Kolodziej, team photographer for the Minnesota Vikings. Dave is using two 1D Mark II's (I think its an N) equipped with a 70-200 and a 400 2.8. Rick is using Nikon, blasphemy, i know, two Nikon D2Xs's I believe with 70-200 and 400 w/ a double hood that initially made me think 600.
so what is the purpose of having a 2-piece lens hood? It's not like it's a zoom lens where eventually the hood would be too long. I've never understood that

According to Dave Sanders, it lets more light in. I've never used one, but that's what he said.
Things got a bit tight for me at a soccer game a few weeks ago...I was actually just diving to catch the ball, and my trusty photo associate got the shot.
