    I like #3, but why can't that team play in lighter helmets ?

    Black headgear and shiny gold pants. They don't add up to good night photography at all. But you have to play the hand that's dealt you. That's what I got so I try to make the best of it. Thanks for the look and the comment Paul.

    Hey, at least it isn't my favorite team whi wears all black, It has it's advantages though as it's easier to hide the ball and also easier to hide defensive players. They get lots of interceptions in those uniforms

    Nice shots OT. I like the first one best. You are getting good action.

    I'm just not that thrilled with my shots this year. Our boys are dark. All navy with the exception they will wear white pants for a FEW games.
    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    Thanks JETA. Nothing special just what I got this week. I know what you mean about the uniforms. But we can't do anything about them. When something is out of your control you just have to plunge ahead and a do the best you can with the situation you are faced with. It's like the lousy light that we encounter nearly every week. You either throw up your hands or make the best of it. That said the best shots I get many weeks are of the visiting team who are wearing the nice light color uniforms. They don't make me a cent but they are satisfying to get.

    Exactly! I couldn't agree more. There isn't a game or event I don't quit plugging away. Another valuable lesson I learned from you guys here at PR.
