Great image and light. I love the way the light seems to bring life to an otherwise dead subject.

ROFL that is different for a photographer to also be a ham in front of the camera. LOL

Very cool shots, I'v very Jealous of the photo ops you had available to you. And even more so that you had the 500MM on loan. :D

I miss the little bugs during winter. Maybe I'll find a way to live in a warm climate year round.

I like the dramatic sky and the touch of blue on the roof of the barn. Nice shot.

Heck for some people here in Rural MO that would still be in use and just need a bit of a sprucing up! I really like it. And yeah too bad about the challenge timing!

Actually it's only a bit high. Do you realize how much that Santa and his display costs a day? Plus the photographers time and equipment? I tried to rent a Santa for a fundraiser and just a Santa and a suit with nothing to place him in is $250-$400 a day. I would have had to double what I was going to charge for a photo in order to make any money for the organization I was going to raise money for.

I'm impressed, of course not as impressed if you could have handheld that shot. LOL

Actually I'd say you did a great job especially considering how new you were to the gear and added a TC to it.

I actually like this as an artistic type shot, the slow shutter speed and blur on the players with your husband still being sharp is nice. However on a typical sports shot I try to get the fastest shutter speed I need to stop action, or nearly stop action depending on the sport I'm shooting........F11 works on this shot, but probably not on many from that day.
