    All-State Football Game

    I was quite excited to get my credentials for the Washington State All-State Football Game.

    This was my first time shooting football since I got tackled in Oct. I was very frustrated with myself because I kept flinching thinking I was going to get blind-sided. The harder I tried not to, the worse it got. What a head case.











    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    Re: All-State Football Game

    You did yourself proud Julie!! It's only natural to get a little gun shy after a spill like that. The important thing is you got back up on the horse. You will be right back where you were by next football season. Keep shooting. I love #1 although I think I would go for a slightly tighter crop and the passing shots were beautifully timed.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Thanks OT. I'm hoping you won't find me scrambling a few games into the season. I have spring camp next week so it will be good practice.

    All I have to say is great minds think alike. #1 I cropped two ways for my website. This s the other crop.

    Julie I like what you did but I had something else in mind. I must just have your email on my work computer. Send it to me at lwgooding@alltel.net and I'll show you.

    It's in the process of being sent to you. Please feel free to repost your edit of the picture. It's such a good learning experience for me and I'm sure others.

    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks Betty. I wish #5 is sharper, but what a great defensive move. I had to keep it.

    Jeta, these are amazing! They look like they came right out of Sports Illustrated! The one of the QB getting hit is my favorite, but they're all excellent shots.

    Re: All-State Football Game

    Very nice job I like them all!
    The tight shot on the running back is my favorite. Good capture.
