The NFL Experience
I can finally say, “Yes, I’ve shot an NFL game.”
I’ve shot many high school games, a college game, but they don’t compare to the NFL Experience. To those who shoot the NFL regularly, it’s probably old hat for you, but for me it was like getting to fly first class after riding in coach all my life.
The first thing that really surprised me was how big these guys are. Not sure where these guys hang out all week, but I’ve never seen people this enormous at the grocery store or mall.
Photographing the game is pretty much the same — except the players move so much faster, and passes get to their intended receivers (or defensive players) in a blink of an eye.

Wow, Congrats Dave! I’m jealous, I’ve only been on the field at Camden Yards and to walk out the home plate doors to a crowded stadium certainly takes your breath away. I’m jealous!
Lets here some specifics! What sort of zoom were you sporting? Think I saw a wide shot in there as well.

I was shooting with my Sigma 120-300. I also took a few shots with my Sigma 14mm.
Whenever I shoot football, I wish I had a Canon 400 f/2.8.
Nice stuff Dave, if your ever in NY you can borrow my 300 2.8 I have shot games like this and no one realizes that you cant move around like at a high school game its not as easy.
Your a great photographer, Its exciting to see your fantastic work!
