Labour Day Classic
Yesterday I covered the Annual Labour Day Classic at McMahon Stadium. There was an extra pass and although I am done at the Herald I talked to photo editor Peter Brosseau when we were out on the golf course the other day and he was fine with me taking a pass. I ended up getting front page sports with the first and last pictures of this post. It was a great game and 35,744 fans showed up this Labour Day to cheer their Stampeders to a 44-23 victory in the 30 degree heat. Anyways, here are a selection of the photos I took at the game.

Hey Brett;
Would it be out of line to ask what the shot settings were, as well as what camera(s) you were shooting with?
Love the last one, as a born and raised Calgarian who detests anything Edmonton, I love the look on Rays' face as he sees the Stamps bearing down on him. That's a GREAT shot.
all of these were taken with a 20d and a 300mm 2.8 except for the last which was a 70-200mm.
