it was taken from over 700 ft away with my olympus c-730 with a b-300 1.7 telephoto lens
i agree duncan , todd , great pic for sure !
i had just bought the add on lens and it was my first time out to the drags with the camera . i plan to get many more in the next seasons . i sent the pic here to the track ownner and the next week he let me get up close to the track and the 2nd pic is from up close where all the track photographers get . the 2nd one is just the c730 on it's own . you pic the better . the closer is a clearer shot but it was only 30 ft away vs. 700+
I don't shoot a lot of sports, but had the once in a lifetime chance to shoot a couple of innings from the first base photo box at Camden Yards. This one was one of my favorites:
I would have to say my Best Sports of 03 is a sport that I don't even have much interest in (aside from maybe a photo subject)
I stopped these guys and asked if they would mind if I hung out and snapped a few shots. Full Gallery Here (I've since did a little contrast adjustments and they are GREAT)
Ok I am a first time poster here today thanks to RFM Sports "Jim" well anyways I wanted to post a sport pic but I couldn't decide on just one so I created a pbase site with the ones I liked the best check them out and let me know what you think...
