Sports shooting is fun, too!

Yesterday some friends and I saw the USA Men's National Soccer team defeat China's National team 4-1 at Spartan Stadium in San Jose. The intimate scale of the stadium combined with the fact that athletes are much larger than birds to allow me to make shots like these from the stands using only my Canon 20D and a svelte 70-200mm f/4L. I saw the guys on the sidelines with their 500mm f/4L's, I guess they are only shooting plays on the opposite of the field, or they really like shooting individual fingers and eyelids. Anyway, more photos here.
