JV Football scrimage

[BFiredup]

Well, this was interesting.....we played in a vacant lot....some cones down as markers...and that was it....but after all it was a scrimage game, and the coaches were close on the field trying to teach these young guys a little something....LOL..
But they all had a great time...

Now I haven't done this in a while, and I am really rusty, but here goes...

Great timing - love the 3rd and 4th shots. But, they all look a little over-exposed. If you shot in RAW, you could probably pull them down and recover most of the blown out areas.

Thanks Brad....
I am at work..supposedly working...hahaha....and the monitor here isn't a great one for photos, so I wasn't sure if I was adjusting the lighting and or exposure correctly....
Yes I always shoot RAW....
I will adjust them..
Thanks again

Better or worse....
I might just need to wait until I get home...and actually get to work here...LOL

[BFiredup]

This is another series....

And the last photo shows the fans....they were on the sidelines cheering them on...

That is a great straight-arm series you added. The first set of shots are nice but looks like your positioning was behind the action, was this by choice.

Well....I guess it was more by chatting...LOL....I had so many parents wanting to ask me questions and talk....I could hardly move....and with this scrimage I actually could have walked out on the field....could have gotten some really great advantage spots....but....I guess I should have just walked away from the parents...LOL....oh well....JV has another scrimage next week, will see if I can get on the field then....I will be on the sidelines for the Varsity game this Sat....so the parents can't get to me there...LOL

Great job Betty! Love that first straight arm shot it really captures the moment.

[JETA]

Ooooooooooh, I love nice straight-arming shots! You nailed that first one.

One of the beauties of the youth football and hs team I shoot is nobody is allowed on the field. It's probably hard to monitor a vacant lot. lol

[BFiredup]

That's right Jeta.....it was all for practice for the JV team, the other team was a parks and rec team, and so we played up there on a vacant lot....the boys just looked at each other and thought they were loosing it....LOL...

The real thing is tomorrow with the Varsity team, I will see how close to the action I can get with them...and not getting run over...IF you know what I mean...LOL...

What a great series with the straight arm......

[wwwon]

Great Shots.

I love the stiff arm...but that kid kept hanging on.

[BFiredup]

He sure did, he was a tough little guy....and very determined....

Thanks guys....I guess that means I am back...LOL

[brmill26]

BF, the newer ones look much better, spot on to me. Excellent sequence on the stiff arm!

[BFiredup]

Thanks Brad....I really appreciate all the comments and critique I get here...
