Default Season Ends - Football

I haven't posted anything new in a while because I've been shooting night football - tough lighting to take anything really interesting.

Here are a few quick images from the IHSA 8A Semi-Championship game... A cold day, which threated snow throughout the game.

Image #1 was shot with a D2h, 18-70mm lens - all the others were shot with a D2h, 300/2.8.

#1 - Fans Excited at the start of the game:


#2


#3


#4 - Coughing up the ball


#5 - Blocked Pass


#6 - Passing game was pretty much shut down the whole game.


#7 - Clock Winds Down.


Cheers!
Ken

That is some fantastic work. You have a great talent for your sport shooting. You capture the right moment and emotion perfectly. I am still wondering if the guy in #3 cut back and had a long gain, or was tackled right there, and in #4, did he lose the ball, did the other team get it. Great work.

Thanks!

In #3, he did cut back, but only ran for a short gain.

In #4, it was a turnover. The following are the next two shots in that sequence:

Love the first one of the fans. Looking good here, don't see anything that bothers me, except maybe the out-of-focus player dominating in number 6... only so much you can do sometimes.

Thanks Michael!

I liked the depth the player provided in #6, but yes, I can see how it can be distracting. Maybe I should re-think that one. It will be interesting to see if my editor decides to run it and if he does, what crop he will use.

Thanks!
Ken
