I was assigned a game at the dungeon last night. I broke out the 300 f2.8 although I did use 3.2 vs 2.8 just to cheat the depth of field. Glad I had it, the 100-400 would have struggled using 5.6.
Just a simple shot of a lot of hitting:
Gotta outrun the defensive linemen:
In order to get a sideline shot into the backfield, I had to stand 10 yards from the sideline, almost next to the stands.
Fantastic action shots, Ray!
Went to Martinsburg, WV yesterday for a small airshow, no BA nor TB, the F-22 is the main draw. I don't think I had seen an Ac-130 gunship in the air before until yesterday.
Oh a great capture Douglas! The AC47(single rear "chain gun") was the backbone of close air support when I served in Vietnam. Then mainly the AC-130U Spooky and AC-130W Stinger II later(1969). In 1967, my 1st year, the AC47 was my main CAS(close air support). It had its limitations but those limitations did not affect my teams operation. It did the JOB and did it well!
I saw the newer model arrive and WOW! On the ground, one could tell the marked difference in "area of coverage" on target.! Both versions sounded like someone holding down the key on and old electric typewriter!
Thanks for a distant memory!
