One chance to shoot night football

[tjk60]

I haven't shot night footbal at all this year (and it shows).

My daughter's boyfriend plays JV and finally got a chance to play (last game). I volunteered for pics, just to play. It started in the rain, ended with a light sprinkle, and I brought the flash out pretty quick...

1) BF as slot receiver

5). As soon as I pulled the monopod to it's fill length, a mom from the team with a Canon something or other and a 70-300 5.6 max comes over a first words were "My pictures are blurry, tell me how to fix 'em" I told her to go watch the game, ISO 1600 and 5.6 is not going to cut it. She followed me around, wanting to chimp my pics... Very nice lady, actually!

This is her son:

I really like #2 and #4. I'm actually heading out to a high school game tonight myself. I've never shot a HS game, so I'm really excited to see how it goes. It's my first gig with the local newspaper. So, hopefully I'm able to figure it out quickly as it's alot different than shooting college ball which I'll be shooting Saturday night! Woo Hoo, then I'm doing a MX riding school on Sunday. Funfilled weekend for sure. I'll post my fav pics on Monday probably. Hopefully they will be as good as these that you've posted my friend.

Thanks Russ, good luck w/ the HS game, light is probably better at those Texas HS stadiums!
