Kage...Excellent, You capture not just the action, but alot of emotion. Thanks for the info too...I will have an op to shoot this in the future as well. Nice to know the 70 200 does this good!

The new camera is awesome. I'm still not completely used to it but I used this event to decide if I was going to keep it or not. The biggest problem I found with it was the noise at High ISOs. It turns out that if the exposure is good, the noise isn't too bad. Even at ISO 3200 it still looks pretty good. The size and weight does not bother me at all. I have long fingers so the camera fits me well. Going back to the 20D makes it feel like a toy!
I plan on writing my personal review of the camera in the coming weeks. And I finally got my own 70-200 as welll; no more rentals!

I just watched this fight last night ... it was a real good one!

I followed the UFC up until UFC 10 or so when I lost the ability to aquire them in this country. Now I can catch up with it anytime with ADSL connections.

Do you have anymore UFC shots from the night?

I shot a lot of photos that night but like I mentioned earlier, my shooting position was really bad, too many obstructions. I believe I've posted the best ones from that night

This is one of the reasons I didn't get many good shots. This is the little "window" I had to shoot through.

Is that one of the doors there? Did that completely cut you off at the end of the fight when Buffer and all stand there waiting to enter?

Yeah that door is a pain in the you know what. After everyfight, the corners of the fighter would wait there to get in as well. There are so many people in the cage at that time that it's almost impossible to get post fight photos.

Off too shoot more tonight. I hope I come back with some good ones!

I was at UFC 66 the other night and I was talking to one of the professional photog's in the press area on the second level. She was using the 100-400 the whole night. I wanted to bring some gear so bad but thought better of it. She told me that without a media pass, I probably couldn't bring in my camera and tele lens. On one of my bathroom breaks, Tito Ortiz and his onterage (sp?) walked by about 10 feet from me and my brother. Damn.
