    Friday nights, must be Football!

    That time of year again.....now though things are a bit different as the games start a bit earlier and there is more light now that Indiana decided to stay with the Eastern time zone. It makes a big difference in the lighting and the number of batteries I go through. Here are 6 shots from last Friday night.

    Oh my don't you love it when you have a little light to work with. Nice job John. Love the shot of the ball coming off the QB's hand.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Yeah, it's OK having some daylight, but it kind of ruins the whole "Friday Night Lights" thing. The QB really wants that one back as it was picked off. His first four passes of the season were either misses or picked off (2 of each) and he just didn't seem "with it". I told his younger sister to give him a good kick in the rear at halftime .
    This particular field is well lit for night games, in fact the best around and they are one of the smallest schools around.

    Thanks JETA It was good to be out shooting and not stuck inside the engine of an antique Oliver tractor which I am in the process of rebuilding the engine in.
