Wow, what a day Friday was! From the crack of dawn on (okay, ten in the morning), until almost Midnight, I was taking pictures. Nearly 2500 to be exact. Two 16 GB cards....
I was shooting in multiple Olympic venues and I was shooting with my Nikon D700 and Nikon 300mm f/2.8 VR and new Nikon 2.0 teleconverter. In every venue I was allowed to set up and shoot until such time as the accredited media, ie, the photographers, noticed me and my gear in the stands and demanded to know why I was NOT confined to the shooting areas like they were! Who was that damned imposter!
And each time, some lovely volunteer would come along and apologize profusely for the boors in the official media, and whisper to me that if I just followed them quietly they could find another place for me to shoot.
These were the hockey photos, doh! Ryan Kesler -- #17 -- although playing for the USA Team, also plays for the local Vancouver Canucks. Hence, my focus on young Mr. Kesler. Keep your eye on the puck!!
