Kyle R. Pochek Photo: New Sigma 120-400 and a Lacrosse game

Today was my first time using my brand new, right out of the box Sigma 120-400mm lense. I have to say that I may be in love with it. The week before the game when it was on it's way I was really looking forward to using it on a sport such as lacrosse because it's a fast sport on a big field.

Team mates Steve Lick and Nicky Daniels pose for a picture during warm ups. I got there way early to get a feel for the new lense and try to see what works with it and what doesn't. After about 45 minutes of me talking to friends the game started and my settings were still not dialed in. After I got to work it didn't take to long because it was a very nice day out and there was really really good light on the field.

I really like these two shots because he is doing the "Jeter" lacrosse style, there isn't much difference.

After a very busy first quarter from the Spartans the second quarter started out fast. Greg Parker #16 sprinting down the field and turns a defender around as he flys past.

Whats funny to me is I got a great shot of him but I also got one that might make him a little mad that i put this up here. There was a ground ball around mid-field and Greg was going to get but didn't know that there was a kid behind him and he got trampled.

I'll be hearing about that one for awhile in school but I still think its funny. At half time Greg's girl friend and a couple other of my friends were treated to some humus and pita, now this was my first time eating humus and I have to say it wasn't bad.
