Have gone to
Dallas Cowboys training camp in
Oxnard, Ca to get some shots
of football players. What is always
striking about going to training camp is how many people come out daily to see
theplayers. Cars are lined up before
the parking lot even opens and can stretch a half mile back. This is at least an hour before the gates
open. I hear reports that about 4,000 to
5,000 Cowboys fans come out for each day of training. Once in there are lots of vendors showing a
variety of Dallas Cowboys merchandise, jerseys, hats, footballs, key chains,
etc.
The field is large and there are plenty of viewing places
with bleachers if you do not want to wander around. When players are going through their drills
they move from location to location so there are a lot of good advantage places
to see them practicing close.
As I have
a decent long range camera it was easy for me to sit in the bleachers and get a
lot of good photos for reference to future paintings.
