This week has been a busy week with finals at Cleveland Chiropractic College. I was fortunately able to take an hour break to go shoot my first lacrosse game. I’m friends with a family in Overland Park that eats and breathe’s lacrosse so I thought I’d offer to take some photos of their team. It truly is a family affair with two daughters playing, a father coaching, and a mother doing everything else! I had never shot a lacrosse game so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I figured out pretty quick that the field is much larger than a football field and the officials do not like photos behind the net (for obvious reasons). I shot the game with my Canon 7D and 200mm f2.0 with a Canon 1.4x teleconverter attached. The images were still very sharp at a 2.8, and tack sharp at an f4. At f4 I was able to get 1/1000th of a second shots with 400 ISO settings on an overcast evening. Overall it was a good learning experience and a blast to watch. These girls can flat out play! I wish I could shoot another game, but their season ends soon and I have to get back to Oklahoma this weekend for the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. I have been fortunate enough to get a press pass for this event so there should be some pretty nice photos coming Sunday evening or Monday. I’m also shooting a couple’s engagement photos on friday morning so I’ll post those as well. I’m going under the knife on Tuesday for jaw surgery so I’ll do my best to have these posted before then. Good luck as you finish your finals and look forward to seeing everyone again after the break. -Barnezy-
