The local Canadian Junior Football League team, the Hilltops, took on the Calgary Colts this afternoon. I shot the first half and made the wise decision to leave as the clouds were looking quite ominous... It started to absolutely pour rain with thunder and lightning only 2 minutes after leaving the parking lot within the safety of my car :) The final score was 25-17 for the Hilltops.
This was my first time shooting Football with my 20D, which was certainly quite nice after using a Fuji Finepix S1 Pro most of the time last year! I'll need to brush up on my technique with the Hilltops before my own school's Football team starts September 2nd.
1. The Colts' Cassidy Doneff (#80) evades the Hilltops defensive line.

2. The Colts' Adam Marit (#20) gets grasped and hauled to the ground.

3. Hilltopper Andrew Cumming (#3) is tackled from behind by the Colt's Jordan Gruman (#50).

4. Hilltopper Adam Sandbeck (#23) wraps his arms around the legs of the Colts' Cassidy Doneff (#80).

5. Colts' quarterback Julian Marchand (#10) makes a pass. I wanted to get a shot of a good ball release by a QB :) This one made me happy.

I used the 70-200mm f/2.8L + 1.4x II extender, and I need to anticipate the play better and maintain my attention on what I want to shoot. That way I can get what I want, and most importantly, with it in focus.
Any comments or crits?
