    1st football game

    Hi all...

    I am expanding my sports and went to a local football game for 10-11 year olds. I have some friends who's kids play on the gold team and my barber coaches the green team. I told them both I would come out and try my hand at it and see if I can get anything worth while....

    Let me know what you all think......

    Thank you....

    I have been able to go over the 200 I took (I tend to shoot ALOT) and found several that I like, but now I want to go shoot more as I LOVE football and I love to shoot. I think I am addicted now to football..

    I don't know what is hitting Michigan worse, the failing economy or that the University of Michigan sucks this year. The only redeeming aspect of this year is Michigan State is kicking some butt. If Michigan can win at Ohio State, then no one will care about lost jobs, the mayor in jail, the housing slump and the drug problem for a few weeks.

    This is SERIOUS football country.....

    Minnesota has the "blue" in two weeks.. hopefully they don't get any "better" until after that game ;)

    Don't worry about that. I don't think you will have a problem. We have had a few injuries, mostly some minor dings, but stuff we cannot afford, like it will make a difference.

    More hope for Detroit is that the Lions could have a perfect season... 0-16.. don't know if that has ever been done before. We could make history..

    Congrats on a job well done! It looks like you had perfect shooting conditions.

    I work for the youth football league in my area has their photographer. I really enjoy shooting these little guys. A good thing about it is it will always prime you and help with timing b4 you shoot the big guys.
    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.
