    I started my own company for me to keep busy in retirement and to have a job in a few years. I also do sports photography, I started out just going to games and shooting, I am at the point with knowing how to use my camera and where and how to setup getting some great shots.

    The kid struck the Heisman, I did joke with him that black socks would have made this shot near perfect, he loves his lions.

    Sweet. I still really like my R6. I'm still adapting and using old glass. For sports & events, I love using my Sigma 70-200mm and I bring the 2x adapter incase I want to reach out.

    Germ, thought about you today while hunting. I had three hawks fly by me several times. One landed like 10 yds from me.
