jensgt Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Had a fun time at camp yesterday...well part fun time part torture LOL. I miss the Ashburn camp...I used to live 5 minutes from it and the onsite parking was nice. Parking is not too far at Bon Secours but I heard some people say they had to park a mile away. Ashburn you could put a chair anywhere...but at Bon Secours no chairs along the sideline area...you have to have them on the hill. In Ashburn I don't remember ever having people stand in the way blocking views but at Bon Secours the media set up right in front of the crowd for the first half hour of each practice...which was really frustrating. I got there at 9am and set up, put my chair on the hill but stood at my spot on the sideline rope. Watched the walk through practice from 10am to 1130ish and they go in and the wait begins for the 3:20 practice. A few guys signed after 10am practice including Cousins. I was a moron and remembered all my camera stuff and food but NOT sun block. I am burned like a lobster its horrible lol. It was a really long wait and I eventually had to wander back from my chair to my sideline area to keep my spot. Practice started and after the media got out of the way I managed to get some cool shots. Right before the afternoon practice started, RG3 ran the entire length of the field giving sideline fans 5's...people went NUTS. It was great, never seen a star athlete do something like that. After practice some linemen signed but the WR's and Alfred Morris stayed on the field and signed for kids...some kids were allowed on the field to get as many auto's as their heart desired...I need to borrow a little kid for sporting events LOL. I decided to not give up although I was really uncomfortable from all the sun. Finally...RG3 goes to the crowed in the endzone area...so far from us. He signed for 3-5 minutes and moved down to the sideline but way down near the endzone...I was on the 40 yard line on the other side of the 50 from where he was. Kept waiting. He would sign then move down 20-30 yards and sign again. I got lucky and was the last person he signed for in my area...he signed my mini helmet. I was literally shaking a bit I was so excited...or it could have been the sun burning my skin. LOL. So here we go...pics! He ran the entire sideline and gave 5's...I got one!

And just how many times have you polished that helmet since you got back home? Lol. Hail. LOL I kept looking at it to make sure the autograph was really there. I had a gold sharpie with me but he was signing everything with the same black one, understandable...he's a busy guy LOL. I am going to buy a nice case to put it in so no harm can come to it. Need to order a bunch of baseball cases as well...I have been lucky with autographs this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conn Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Moss looks trim. He's serious about extending his prime. I remember how thick he looked a year or two ago in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToaCommander Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Whoa. Great pics and love the definition. I can even see the colour of their cleats. Sidenote. I'm not into Nike (rugby) boots/cleats but looking at those photos, maybe I should get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it were as easy to get pics at the games but I don't even think I'd be allowed to bring my lens in to a game! Depends on the lens,but you should be okay bringing it in. I brought my camera in over my neck,(one lens attached),and the 70-200 in it's bag in with no problems. Things may have changed since then,but worth a try.

Might have to give it a try...I have the 70-200...and a 1.4x teleconverter which I used for these. Wonder where the best place to sit for good pictures is. I would imagine lower level but not so low that you have 100 people standing in between you and the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
