Went out to the Chargers training camp yesterday.

Pretty cool, overall. I've never done anything like that before, and I haven't shot sports since high school. This is the first time I used the "Sports" mode on the 20D.

I've got a ton of shots, and will post them as I get through them:

This guy redefines the word "fast": Darren Sproles setting up to receive a kick:

Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

Running Back Ladanian Tomlinson (considered to be one of the most dangerous backs in the NFL) runs a pass route for Philip Rivers as Head Coach Marty Schottenheimer (far right) looks on:

Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

All were shot with the 20D and the 70-200mm f/2.8L with the Tamron 1.4TC...

(Had to edit the post for the two-image rule. Sorry. I'll get others up in seperate threads)

Fast, shifty, quick...he is one dangerous punt returner.

How many wins for the Chargers this year? 8?

Thanks. I don't know why I was thinking it was the other way around...

I haven't looked at their schedule yet, so I'm not ready to make a guess yet.

As for Sproles, watching him run was amazing. Yeah, watching his cut here and cut there was amazing, but his acceleration was almost frightening...

When I shot pics at the Chicago Bears camp last week, you didn't need credentials, you just walk in but you're not allowed on the field.
But you are only a foot away from the on field photogs.

Marty Schottenheimer, the Charger's head coach, is my neighbor.

Okay, that's a lie.

The Chargers practice sessions are open to the public. Still cameras are permitted, but video cameras are not...

Chargers 8 to 9 wins this year, but they'll beat the Steelers on Sunday Night.

Nice shot of Sproles.

:lol: close? I thought 8-8 but they end up 14-2? I don't think anyone saw that coming. The Chargers aren't my team but they are my pick to win it all.
