Most of you probably don't know, but I won the first week of the contest and scored a second body and some sideline passes to a jets game. Now that the home game season is over, who has the best photo? The person that submitted the best "football players in action" photo gets VIP access to spring 07 training camp!!!

I think I have it, but just wanted to get your opinions on the matter. Things I concentrate on when shooting football is tight, face, ball, action. The background is a little hot on mine, but its nicely seperated w/ DOF, and you can clearly see the ball and face during a perfect catch. :)

I have the luxury of taking time off during the summer to see the Colts practice at Rose Hulman. I don't have any pics of the Jets so this might be out of topic a bit. Out of all the shots I have maybe two that are pretty cool. I won't post the ones where I captured the offensive play book, when you have a 500mm lens, you can make out each play page as the coach holds it up before the practice runs.

Anyway, the two I have are Manning being snapped to and the center is off the ground, and one where Harrison catches the ball.
