BYU vs. Northern Iowa College Football – 70-200mm

BYU quarterback Max Hall lines up behind center in the red zone.
Again, my goal for football this year is to have good photos from each of three lenses (super telephoto, telephoto, and wide). These three were taken with a 70-200mm lens (and probably a 1.4x teleconverter)
The 70-200 is a go-to lens when the Cougars are within the twenty yard line and I can line up with the ball. For these three photographs I’m prone on the grass as low as I can get for a dramatic, right-on-the-field look.

BYU’s Bryan Kariya runs into the endzone for a score.
You’ll notice that in contrast to the tight shots taken with the 400 in the previous post, the 70-200mm lens includes a little more background information. In the photo below, the fans bring some emotion to the scene.

BYU’s Harvey Unga scores one of his three touchdowns.
As for the sharpness and clarity, I know something’s off. These aren’t as crisp and vibrant as you’re used to seeing here. I’m in the midst of re-calibrating everything so hang tight.
