Ever since I bought the 300 f/2.8 I have used it as much as I can and try to use it whenever possible. This was a practice meet so why not bring the 300 and practice with it. Could I use a beast like that for a local track meet? The answer is yes and no. With that kind of lens you have to keep your distance, which leaves a lot of room for people to jump in front of you. This happened while trying to get some shots of the long jumpers. I did get a few but not as much as would have like to get, so maybe for the next meet I'll bring both the 70-200 f/2.8 and the beast (300 f/2.8).
All of these shots were taken at aperture priority (f/2.8). I used an ISO of 800 for the shot put but dropped it back down to 100 - 200 for the rest of the meet.

Thanks Lisa, I don't know what I would do if I didn't have sports year round. I hate being out here in So. Cal, but the weather is great for what I do.
