Next up...

VHS Football versus Cedar Park, tonight at 7:00 pm. Right now the long-range doppler radar looks pretty good. Probably wear my full rain suit but no boots. 70-200mm f2.8 zoom with 1.4x extender for 98mm-280mm effective focal length, probably take my Kata rain hood but hope to leave it in the trunk.

Speaking of white balance: I'm going to do a custom white balance after it gets fully dark: shoot a white card, do Menu > Custom WB and select the white card just photographed, exit the Menu, press and set White Balance to the "Custom" icon.

Before it gets fully dark I'm going to set the White Balance at "Daylight" which is 5200K and see how that works.

Metal Halide lamps seem to run in a range from 2300K for "white corrected" (Often used as accent lighting to blend in with fluorescent 2700K applications) to 4000K for "standard" (Used in general lighting; factories: parking lots, warehouses) to 5500K for "Hylux" (Daylight lamps: horticulture, aquariums, high color definition).

VHS Pirates football v Lakeside, October 18, 2009. Pirates win, 44-13. Got some very good offensive and defensive sequences. My sense of timing in shooting football is improving. That, and taking over 900 photos helps...
