Lakewood Freshmen Football vs Leuzinger

Football has officially started for me yesterday.  Covered the Lakewood Freshmen vs Leuzinger game at Lakewood High School.  I will admit my timing was way off and I just couldn't get into my groove, but I did walk away with some nice shots that I can be happy with.

Not too long ago I bought a Canon 100-400 f/4.5 - f/5.6 to use with my wildlife photography.  Can't afford a Canon 500mm or 600mm and I wasn't happy with the Sigma 150-600 f/4.5 - f/6.3 so I went with the Canon 100-400 to give me some added range.  I am happy with it and my wildlife photography so I thought I'd give it a try with my first football game.  The one thing I was concerned about was shooting at a larger larger aperture.  I found that the background was fine and blurred enough to meet my needs, but it wasn't as fast as I would have liked with focusing.  I had every intention of bringing a second camera with my 70-200 f/2.8, but decided to simply bring the one lens (100-400) and see how it goes.

Below are some of my favorites from the game - enjoy.
