^ shots
I had the schools XT with the kit lens and used my 75-300 f/4.5 - 5.6 for the 'Action' shots and the second shot i used my 50 f/ 1.8

I loved the lighting in there it was awesome
They had 5 games that day and we were 2nd to last 6-9pm I got to the dome at 12 I had a lot of time to explore the Dome ( i had a press pass ) and got to see the Monday night ESPN trucks set up great experience

oh btw we won, state here we come !!!!

why'd you opt for a Quantaray 75 - 300 f/ 4.0 ?

I was young and stupid

I bought it a little after I got my first DSLR ( XTi )

how does ISO H work?
I don't see that great of a difference between 1600 and 3200

Did you survive the monsoon? No damage? We watched the game until about the middle of the 4th quarter on GPB. It was a wet one.

I made a cover for the camera out of a garbage bag and athletics tape
I taped the bag to the front of my lens hood but then I forgot i had a rotating front element so every time it focused the bag would turn... so i had to put my camera away just watch...
