Indoor Men's Lacrosse


WOW, this was intersting to say the least. Beautiful place. It's about 1.5 hours north of me and I've never heard of this place. I need to get out more.

They have two indoor courts for soccer, lacrosse and field hockey and whatever else they can play.
The spectators are supposed to be up above in this netted in cage. They can look down onto the court to watch the game. Well, I got center field...with a bodyguard ! I had to be inside the net because the netting was messing up the pictures. And I just do not have the 'big boy' lens.

4 times my friend Keith had to block these kids coming head on- right into me. ( And keith is a big guy too, Thank god) One time I has changing cards, so I definatley wasn't paying attention !
So, I learned alot and have a long ways to go. I enjoyed it alot and am going back this weekend for their tourny. The itch now for me is getting the bigger lens for low light. I might have my tax refund spent already. I'd really like to upgrade to a 20D....maybe the prices on those will come down at the end of Feb so that I can get both.
I am looking at the Sigma 2.8 70-200 mm lens.

WOW! YOU DID A GREAT JOB!!! Love the one of the line going straight down the middle, leading my eye straight to the action. Wonderful action shots. Did you know the people playing?
