Portland v. Portland at Maine Roller Derby


Heather and I checked out the Maine Roller Derby on Saturday - my second bout ever. I went with Kas to a bout in New York this summer and watched the Bronx kick Manhattan's butt. Saturday was a mix of Portland teams competing, but still fun. I tried shooting it, but realized I will need a longer lens if I'm going to shoot any sports. My 28-70mm just doesn't cut it for these things. My thought is to get some sports shots in my portfolio in case I apply to newspaper jobs. It's not my favorite shooting to do, but necessary for any hometown newspaper. I think I'll try shooting a rugby or basketball game, or maybe ice hockey, since those are the sports happening now around here.
