So I guess that means I leave the 4" stilettos at home for this event I'm kidding... while I do own quite a few pairs of those, they are not my choice shoe for photography.

Sigma 70-300mm. While not the best lens out there, but it’s the longest I have. All of the images on this page were taken on the long end of that range. A decent lens such as this and a little careful planning (to be discussed later) can lead to some amazing shots.
I now feel a whole lot better about using the lenses I have. I wasn't sure if they'd be long enough or fast enough, but obviously they should do

Thanks soooo much for this comprehensive tutorial on the subject. I'm going to read it over several times before the weekend. And I'll say it again, you've got some amazing example shots. Thanks
