    JV Football

    Our JV team kicked off their season this evening with a 43-0 win. It makes such a difference when you have a little daylight to work with. Here are a few from tonight.

    Oh yeah the first one is for JETA. I know how she likes those QB hand off shots.

    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Thanks Jim. It's so nice to get to shoot during daylight hours that I kind of went wild with it. It will be the same old same old Friday night I'm afraid.

    Nice images. Well framed, good color and lighting and you captured great expressions on the players faces.

    Larry.....great stuff. I'm anxious to try my hand at football, but right now baseball still takes precedence.

    I wish I had a little higher level of baseball to follow in the summer. About all I have is LL now. I have high school in the spring but it's over by the first of June. So for now I content myself with catching the Reds on the tube and little guys on the base paths.

    Holy cow OT! When I see pics like these, I know I have so much work to do and much to learn. They are all fantastic action shots and the clarity & color are amazing!

    Thanks for the first shot. I loved it!
    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    Your very welcome. Nice to see you back. I'm looking forward to some great images from you this year. Your improvement over the length of the season last year was amazing, I know this is going to be a banner year for you. That first one was the first picture I took that night and I had you in mind the whole time. Glad you liked it.

    OK. Now you are going to make me cry. Thank you on both accounts. :blush2:

    I'm a bit scared for this season. We only have 3 home games and have switched leagues. So I have many unknown lighting situations coming my way.

    Oh but that is what makes it exciting. The unknown waits and you know your skills are improved and I know you are up to the challenge. Can't wait to see how you meet the challenge. And I don't want you holding back on us either, show us the mistakes as well as the triumphs. There will be both and both will make you a better photographer.
