my first nfl game

i’ve never been to an nfl game before. and yesterday i realized that the saints were playing the 49ers this weekend! so off to craigslist i went. found 2 tickets for $150 (geez, $7 student tickets seem so far away…) but they were in an awesome spot right next to a bunch of saints fans who needed no reason to start singing ‘who dat’. the game was awesome, mainly b/c we whipped them up and down the field. a few of those scores were on our side of the field, so i got to see them up close and personal.

i brought my camera and had a really good time taking pictures (of the cheerleaders). unfortunately, it made me realize that while my 18-135 lens is great for general use, i really should get something with more zoom if i want to make a habit of taking sports photos. but honestly, i just put my camera on ’sport’ mode and pressed the button. i let it do all the rest! here are some of the ones i really like.
