Don't you hate it when you miss an incredible shot? I play in the band at Baylor and we played at the Green v. Gold(Baylor colors) scrimmage. We were only told to play two quarters but they didn't get 120 plays in so they went another quarter and the band got to leave. I took my camera and telephoto lense with me and decided to go take pictures on the sidelines. Earlier in the game at the far side of the field a player got knocked completely upside-down but he was too far away for a good picture. I was little disappointed about missing that shot. Most disappointing, though, was the same thing happened again, only this time I was on the sideline and it was about 10 yards away! I'm pretty sure I pushed the shutter release all the way down but the camera didn't take the picture for lack of focus confirmation. I guess I can try again next year, but there are no guarantees.
