BOA Marching Band Competition

Here are some shots from one of my sister's marching band competitions this year. It was in October at Towson. I had fun seeing how closely I could zoom in with my telephoto lens while I was up in the stands. I also tested out the image stabilization on my lens while slowing the shutter speed in order to get the colorguard flags and rifles blurry while the rest of the scene looked sharp. I also did some stop action 'stuff'. Marching band competitions are great places for photoshoots; there's always lots of movement and different colors with each new band and colorguard.
