What is the best lense to use for photographing night High School football games?

April 13th, 2010

I would like to know what is the best digital Nikon zoom lense to use when photographing night High School football games with a Nikon D200 camera?

For reach, I’d recommend the 70-300mm ED or 70-300mm VR, but for the low light and action, an 80-200mm f/2.8 would be optimal.

In any case, you’ll need to push your ISO up to keep your shutterspeeds high enough.

What are the basic rules of flag football?

April 13th, 2010

Please explain! I’ve never played flag football before. I am captain but still don’t really know how to play (as do the rest of my gym class). Basic rules.
HomeRun Hitter Jake, the teacher picks I guess depending on your leadership skills.

How’d you become captain? Everything is the same as football except that you can’t tackle people instead you just try to strip their flag.

where can i find the cheapest and best soccer gear, especially football boots in Toronto?

April 13th, 2010


academy will always have cheap cleats. but if i were you i would invest around $90 in a good pair of soccer cleats, it will make all the difference. soccer.com is the best website for soccer gear. some cleats in the price range are diadora maracana, adidas copa mudial, adidas predator absolion PS, puma v3.06, puma v-kon, nike total 90 strike, and nike mercurial talaria. some are for speed, some for power, some for touch. the best of these is porbably the copa mundial, that is what i would go for if i were you.

Will wearing soccer cleats affect a tattoo on my foot 3 1/2 days after I get it?

April 11th, 2010

I’m planning on getting a tattoo on my foot this Friday morning. I know tattoos scab up and that if the scab gets pulled off it affects the inking of the tattoo. I have soccer practice the following Tuesday in the late evening. By wearing my cleats, will the rubbing ruin the tattoo? Even if it’s wrapped?

To soon, its going to rub….even if its wrapped………
