So, when I purchased my camera back in December, the bundle I bought came with an 18mm-55mm lens in addition to the regular lens. I had played with it briefly, but hadn't actually switched it over for a long period of time. I found the perfect opportunity to do so at a Nashville Sounds game over Memorial Day weekend. We were sitting in the second row, and were very close to the players, the field, but when I got that zoom out...wow.I really enjoyed getting shots that I wanted to get. Shots that were not tainted by people's heads, objects that stood between the target and myself. It was the first time I saw the advantage of having another viewpoint. I mean, com on, how many of us just move closer to our object. It takes only a second, and it works just fine. But what about those moments where you can't step any closer. It was great.
It reminds me of when I was a sportswriter for my high school newspaper. I always wished I had the picture that was in my mind of the game I attended to go along with my story. Hey, Nashville Sounds, call me :-)
