EPTI'm a Software Engineer in San Francisco by trade, but I dabble in amateur photography. Shooting at MLG Columbus and the NASL Finals were super awesome, and MLG Anaheim was no less incredible.
Due to not wanting to miss any shots this time around, I specially rented a 70-200mm 2.8 lens for the weekend (renting, because the $2400 purchase price is... beyond my hobby budget). In terms of overall equipment, my DSLR body was a D90 and my primary lenses were the aforementioned 70-200mm and a 50mm 1.4.
(Maybe one day, I'll take photography as a hobby seriously enough to move to full-frame. I'm keeping a close eye on the upcoming Nikon D800)
This time at Anaheim, as before at Columbus and NASL, WellPlayed graciously let me use a media badge so that I could get the best shots I could within my ability, hence the watermark. (And even then, out of 1000+ shots, I kept less than 50 x_x)
For anyone who are wondering, here are some of my prior pictures.

Side note: let me just say here that Boxer is one of the most photogenic programers I've ever seen. Factoring out lighting and focus issues that were my fault, nearly every photograph I took of him was decent -- the man has pretty much no bad angles.
