    Last Football

    I shoot my last football game of the season for me Saturday. I had an opportunity to shot a Sunbelt conference game between here Middle Tennessee and Arkansas State. Here are a few of my images.

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

    Outstanding photos!

    really like the second one, the posture of the foot on the ground , and the guy scraping the grass, with dirt flying around him; this is synthetic grass ? if so that got to burn !

    Thanks Chris, I've got a ton from that game that I'm not ashamed to show. It's surprising how your keeper rate goes up under good conditions and with a higher level of competition. Those D1 lights are amazing. Shot with the 300 f4 under the lights and still had plenty of wiggle room.

    It is fun, isn't it? With my eight fps body I felt like I had a machine gun going out there.

    Thanks again for the looks and the comments. I really did get a great number of keepers from this game in a limited time shooting. The higher the level competition the greater chance of good images.
