Congratulations! This is a big chance for you, if you happen to get a good or even great shot this could boost your career immensely. It's not easy to get in on a game as a sideline photographer. I suggest you research possible positions to set up. I think most sideliners use monopods, if you don't have one you should rent it.
Which brings me to my point: is all you have is 300mm, I strongly suggest you go and rent a bigger, faster lens and shoot at a low ISO as possible. If you find a shop that can rent for even a day, you're set. It will be worth it! Also, consider borrowing or bringing along a backup camera, maybe film? And lots of batteries! And Good Luck! :D
Looking forward to the results... |
