First post in sports but I was at an MMA event over the weekend where a friend was fighting and the event photographer saw me trying to get photos and got me through security to get up close shots of the action!

That's great!

I'm wondering if you would have been better off with the 24-70 as the focus doesn't seem to be bang on. Cage must suck to shoot through regardless. :)

I was wondering the same thing to be honest! I left the 24-70 with my wife. Thought about going back to grab it but the fights were just about to start!

Shooting through the fence was def not fun either, had it in servo the entire time and man getting the focus was trivial with them moving so much.

Picture #7 looks like he is saying, what the hell just happened? How was he knocked out?


I take pictures, I lift heavy things put them down and repeat.

Straight right in the first round, knocked him clean out. They were both undefeated up to that point.
