Soccer and the telephoto (10.03)

I finally had a chance to play with Kerry’s telephoto zoom lens at Jack’s soccer practice and game this week. Needless to say, I fell in love fast. It was great getting up so close to the action with my camera compared to what I’m used to with my mid-range zoom! I started shopping for one of my own almost as soon as we got home! More importantly, Jack had fun at his 2nd to last soccer practice. He scored a goal during the scrimage and everything! Here he’s congratulating himself on kicking the ball into the goal during a drill. (For the sake of perspective, we were in the middle of the field on the sidelines, and he’s at one of the ends!)
