This morning I was covering the FCA Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Breakfast at the Marriott Marquis, where the TCU and Ole Miss football teams were enjoying the master of ceremonies, Ernest Johnson, Jr., a sportscaster for Turner Sports.

Aeneas Demetrius Williams is a former American football cornerback and free safety who played with the Arizona Cardinals and St. Louis Rams of the National Football League (NFL). He was the featured speaker today at the FCA Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Breakfast — at Atlanta Marriott Marquis.

I was trying to ensure I captured the number of folks at the event, the new logo for the Bowl this year, and a couple of moments here and there.

Here is a small sample of some of the coverage.

When covering an event like this, you need some long glasses or be between the audience and the speakers.

This wide shot is from the same place I shot the two top photos. The difference is a 14mm lens vs. a 600mm lens.

When you are in a banquet facility where the room size is a football field, you need to bring the exact glass you would cover for a football game. Due to logistics, you need the long glass because you cannot get the subject to fill the frame enough from some places you need to position yourself.
