Packers Bengals MNF

take these with a grain of salt as I shot with a 100-400 at night and as anyone knows the lens actually laughs at you when you point it to the field.

wow that lens actually did quite well!

I like them all. I am assuming these were shot on the field?

Hey, you actually captured the catch-helmet-smash! WOW! Looks like you shot from an elevated position, like the front row. I'm curious. Where? Settings?

Terrific!

I started the game at ISO 800 and tried to keep the shutter speeds around 1/500. Would obviously liked to have been higher, as 1/500 doesn't freeze hands and feet many times. From there I moved up a couple stops and well before halftime was at ISO 1600.

I think they look pretty darn good considering. Nice job!

Agreed. These are very good especially considering you're in the stands with a lens not suited for night shots.

very impressive for night time shooting with that lens, some great shots

I was wondering where that laughing was coming from over the TV....

agree with everyone else, nice job for the conditions. #5 would make a pretty cool wall hog with the background cutout like that (wallhog is like fathead for those that dont know).

Nice job.

Thanks for sharing them.

Very nicely done! Couldn't agree more about the 100-400 and it's light needs, but you did a great job with these. I never brought my gear to any games at Lambeau for fear they wouldn't let me in with "pro" style gear. Good to know they're ok with it!

Wow really nice pictures! Were the people next to you getting annoyed with your shutter going off every play

Really nice set of pics. The fact that you were using the 100-400 makes them all the more amazing.
