Photographer: Bob Rosato

Focal length of lens -

Canon EOS-1D Mark II N, EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM

Shutter Speed -

1/400 seconds

What is the effect of shooting at this shutter speed?

Since the subject seems to be at rest, the shutter speed allows this moment to be captured in focus and from a great distance away.

Aperture-

2.8 seconds

What is the effect (Depth of field) of shooting at this aperture?

The subject takes up the entire frame, so this aperture allows for his whole face to be in perfect focus, while the background is out of focus.

Position -

The photographer was most likely standing on the sidelines opposite the field to get this shot because he used an extremely long lens and this player does not look like he is in the game at that time and you can see the jersey of another resting player.
