|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board 600mm f4 w/ Canon MkIII at night? Anantachai Brown, Photographer Jacksonville | FL | | Posted: 5:11 PM on 03.15.10 ->> Any of you ever shoot with a Mark III and 600mm f4 at night? In particular Bank of America Stadium. I've been asked to shoot the soccer match there on the 24th, but I've sold my 300 2.8 and 70-200 2.8 so I may upgrade equipment by the football season. I have a buddy that I can use his lens, but I don't want to commit unless this combination works. Thanks.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

As you'd expect, endzones are slightly darker. The field runs kind of east/west and the visiting team is on the north side, the backlit side." I would assume for soccer they will use the whole pitch - including the end-zones. So expect the goalmouths to be slightly darker than the rest of the pitch. -Jack  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I would prefer 1/1600-1/2000, but not worth the ISO. Have you received any f/u about photographer locations? I haven't received anything since notification of credential one week ago.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I don't know how big the crowds were on the first two stops for the Mexican National Team, but the latest numbers are that they have sold over 55,000 tickets for this match. Pretty remarkable for football (soccer) in this country!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
