    A little football from me.....

    With my pics I like to tell a story. Some of my favorites are not action. The best of all of my pics are compiled into two slideshows. One all sportraits and the other all action. So I'm including a few non-action.

    Our captains and my big boys. This is over 900 pounds coming at you with the three combined.



    This year our team doesn't run through the beginning of the tunnel. They walk through and high five the the younger kids first. It's a really neat thing to see.



    God help me. He lost his helmet three times in this game.



    Thanks to the athletic trainer someone knows how to work a chin strap.

    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    Re: A little football from me.....

    I like your story telling JETA. The quality of the images that goes along with the story certainly enhances the story telling. All the action shots are exceptional but number 4 is by far my favorite. Love see the back in the air like that. Nice going JETA thanks for posting these. Technically they would be hard to improve upon.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Thanks JS. I just think it's so cute. The kids are from youth football and this year they are officially the Tides which is the hs team. The varsity players are like rock stars to these kids.

    I'll go check out your thread. Glad you got the pics in! lol

    OT, you are so nice. I'll show you more of my night shots. I need so much improvement. lol

    I have another slideshow I keep forgetting to show you. It's the pre-season slideshow and it turned out pretty nice.

    Thanks again OT!

    These are very good. They can't be the ones you were saying you weren't happy with this year.

    I'd love to see that slideshow. Your end of the year shows just knocked my socks off. Joy and I both watched them several times.

    Oh, I watched the Seahawks and Bengals today, I see what you mean about those shadows they were murder on TV.

    Re: A little football from me.....

    Great shots JETA. That is such a great idea to have the team give all the kids high fives before game time and that shot does it justice.

    I just loved the sequence you have. Nice captures.

    Thank you!

    I'm for sure happy with these. It's my night time photos I'm not so thrilled with. I'm going to work on concentrating on what I'm doing a little more. Last game I was having too good of a time visiting with the editor and sports editor from our local paper.
