    What lens you thinking? I'll be right road side will I stick to the 35mm prime or go with a 200mm focal length? Not sure I'll need zoom

    Its going by my apartment across the river from Grand Canal Dock so I'll probably take a peak alright! Sigma 70-200 depending on where I get a spot.

    70-200 for sure and maybe 15mm fish, but it would be great to find a hill to take good pics. Not sure if I'll go though.

    I put two in the random photos thread. Used the Canon 70-200, worked perfectly.

    hey, don't be so harsh to yourself. Keep visiting websites with sports photos and you will gain this skill sooner rather than later, but keep taking photos!
