While shooting Peach County's band camp Monday, I looked across to the stadium and saw these guys working up in the lights. I hoped they would be there for a while, wanted to go over when I finished the band pictures.
They were still there, so I went over and started shooting. This is the perfect example of why you don't shoot the first thing you see and walk away. Don't care how big a hurry you are in, if it is worth shooting, it is worth a little effort.
I put my 1.4 extender on the 300 because I wanted to shoot as tight as I could. The first shot was from midfield looking into the platform. For the second shot I was almost underneath them but still on the field. It makes a much better shot, plus by that time the guy was actually removing a bulb.
For the last shot I went off the field around behind the stands and was looking almost straight up. The workmen and lights were silhouetted against the sky. I had to dump the 1.4 because it was too tight. Waited a few minutes and he changed another bulb.
Took some extra walking and more time but was worth the effort.
