    Re: Middle School Football

    Thanks John. I figured I better get my licks in while I still had a little daylight to work with. I know that the keeper rate is going to drop drastically when I get full under the lights. I have gotten several to go up on my sell site. Hopefully the parents will want the first of the season pictures as much as the last couple of games.

    Sure like to see more of your stuff going up on the board. You keep us on our toes.

    Very nice. Faces, filled frames (maybe a tighter crop on #2), no harsh shadows, Looks like you had a good day to shoot. For middle school a couple of them boys look pretty big.

    Peak action, great expressions, tight crops. OT, you're setting a new standard for me to live up to.

    When you go to these games, do you just show up and take pictures, or do you talk to the coaches first?

    At most game the coaches already know me and I just take my postion and nothing is ever said other than, "how you doing tonight."

    Re: Middle School Football

    Nice pictures. Tonight I went to the varsity football game here and the pictures didn't come out with a F4 lens and ISO 1600. 2 out of the 300 came out un-blurry .

    Tomorrow I'll be at the JV game taking pictures and the game is at 10:00AM, so It should be a pretty nice day tomorrow for some ISO 200 pictures

    I don't know why, but i've seen a photographer with more expensive glass and more cameras than any other important events i've been to . Had a huge F2.8 400mm and a 18-200mm F2.8. At least he was a Nikon guy
