As with all action photography, the closer to the action the better. With limited financial resources to buy what the big boys get to use on a daily basis, a standard 70-200mm lens is usually the norm. Occasionally, you will also see a few 300mm prime lenses pop up on the sidelines. Those babies aren’t cheap.
I rented larger telephoto lenses frequently during football season and I really became enamored with a lens Sigma has that boasts a 120-300mm zoom at a constant f/2.8. What does this mean? Closer, sharper, more vibrant images. It also meant that once you get a taste for what a lens like that can do, it has to go on the wish list.
This week, I added it to my arsenal. The first game shot was the freshman baseball game vs. Red Oak. Get ready for really cool looking shots in the weeks ahead!
