This was my first shoot with my new gear after retiring my trusty Canon Rebel T1i camera body and EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II and EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS II lenses after about 8 years. I was getting increasingly frustrated with missed shots and out of focus shots because of the slow auto-focus on this setup. For the new setup I wanted both a crop sensor with a high frame rate and a body with a full-frame sensor so I got the Canon 7D Mark II and the Canon 5D Mark III. I bought the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens for close in shots and the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens to do most of the heavy lifting for football photos.
Most of these photos were shot with the 7D Mark II fitted with the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM in manual mode with the lens wide open (f/2.8) and the shutter speed set to 1/1000 sec. I used auto ISO to get the right expose and got ISO values between 100 and 200 most of the time.
