Weekend in sports

Had a very busy weekend two weeks ago, first shooting kids soccer, then the Stockholm Marathon.
Took over 1600 images on that single day.

comboThe day before, I bought the MB10 battery grip that makes the Nikon D300 shot as fast as 8 fps. Combined with the 70-200VR 2.8 lens, you get an awesome combo for shooting sports. I will try to get the time to write a mini review about it soon.
Some more images from the marathon (dont want to post kid soccer images without permission from the parents). A few of these will probably be published in the swedish edition of Runners World.

After the climb on the bridge, going downwards feels easy…

Well dressed…

I also used the TC17 tele converter on the 70-200VR, testing the AF speed by shooting close ups and even portraits of moving runners. (If I get the time, I will also write a mini report of the TC17 soon).
