The league championship games were played on Saturday. The kids got to play in a high school stadium. They also had a PA announcer, marching band, player introductions, the whole deal. Pretty cool. Here are a few of the first shots from the day......Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

John - great stuff. Love that first shot. Love the tight framing on all these.

Good job!

Great job on capturing the facial expressions and the images look awesome from a focus/framing perspective. If they were my kids I'd have my wallet open for sure!

What kind of gear were you using for these?

I have to agree w/ every one. These are outstanding and some of the best football shots I've seen here. The tight crops work very well and you did a great job of capturing the faces and expressions:thumb

During my brief stint at youth football, the guy who ran the business gave me several pointers on how to capture football correctly. Tight crops, slight over-exposure, lots of background blur, good shadow detail, faces faces faces. You have nailed it. Very well done.

These are exceptional. How can you get so close to their faces - long glass?

Great work!
