Utah Football Takes The Field
September 10, 2008
Got to Utah’s home opener the other night to try out some angles. Since I wasn’t shooting game action I had a little freedom to get creative. The Utes came out of the locker room to gather in this little inflatable tent thing.
Coach Kyle Whittingham came out. He’s a little soft in the shot, only because I don’t use the center-spot autofocus when I’m using the camera on a monopod (which lets me hold the camera as much as five feet up over my head). I switch it the mult-spot AF mode, since I never know where the center of the frame will be. Am I the only one who has noticed that there is so little depth of field with digital? This was shot at 16mm, which means everything front to back should pretty much be in focus. At least, they were in the film days. Maybe it’s just that patented Canon softness.
Before the team took the field, I put myself in what I thought was the best position for an overhead of the “run-out.” But as you can see things weren’t quite as organized as I had hoped. Not to judge, I wasn’t as organized for the first game either. I’ll be back to get it right.
