    Central Michigan University Football

    I work for the school newspaper (Central Michigan Life), and I got th opportunity to shoot the final home game of the season against Northern Illinois University the day after Thanksgiving. It was quite fun, shooting with other photogs that I knew and hanging out along the sidelines. Here are some of my favorite shots.

    1)
    Diving Catch

    2)
    The Play is Finished

    3) This was published nice and big on page 2B the following edition in the sports section.
    295/365 Tackle in the Sitting Position

    4) I need to find out this guys name.

    Some really nice snaps. I love #3. I got my start along the sidelines in college shooting for the yearbook. Fun times and it taught me a lot in a short period of time. Keep it up, I look forward to more of your Chippewa images.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Alright, shooting in the MAC! NIU is my alma mater and I shoot many of their home games. The color, contrast and sharpness in your snaps is good. The first one is a bit tight and would be better if we could see some face but it looks like the play was pretty close to you. Two and three and good, basic action shots and number four is a good human interest snap that adds well to this series of images.
