W-League Round 7

A double header at AAMI Park with the Melbourne women’s team as the curtain raiser for the men’s match. Had fun shooting with a 1.7 teleconverter on the 400mm as the afternoon light allowed me to lose 1.5 stops. Click here for more images.

The Nikon 650mm lens

At today’s W-League match I was positioned at the end of the field because of the afternoon sun lighting conditions I’ve blogged about in the past. Since most of the action was the far end of the stadium I thought I’d pull out the 1.7X teleconverter and put it on the 400mm. That combo makes it a 680mm and it loses 1.5 f-stops making it f4.8 wide open. Lightroom reports this as a 650mm lens. So this makes it an alternative to the 600mm f4 lens. This is what 650mm looks like. I think I’ll be using this combo more when the lighting allows it:
