American HS Football

Our games are during the day, so thats one difficulty i didnt have to deal with.

This is only my second attempt and im stuck on a sigma pos because my canon 70-200/f4l didnt get here in time. But i feel i did ok.

Oh yea, heres the thing, in europe there are american army and airforce bases scattered around that play each other. So thats what it is here. during the day luckily.

hey rabidmoose171.... looks like you had some good timing on a couple of shots but everything is really blown out.... like hyperexposed. Days like this you may want to stop down just a tad. I had a simular problem a couple of weeks where I got purple fringe on a lot of the white uniforms... this week I stopped down and life if much better. American Football in europe... go figure... thanks for posting.

lookin pretty good. that guys camera looka a lot like mine minus the lens...

Pretty good action shots. Was the guy taking pictures in the second one included on purpose or was that an accident? The reason I'm asking is because I like that one with him in it.

Good action!

T'was on purpose tahts why hes in focus, not the players. I just wanted a picture of that freakin lens... 300/f2.8 on a 1.4tcon

I'm sorry. Are we talking about the same pictures? I meant the second from the top. The guy with the camera in the background with the R on his cap.

Oh, sorry my bad, i thought you meant the other one, i didnt read very well i guess...

I didnt take it of him on purpose, but i like the fact that he is in it.

I shoot sports, personally, I wouldn't crop the pictures as much. Wait for the Action to come to you. Relax you have 2hours. 4 hours if your shooting Varstiy football. Relax, always think a second ahead and think your getting getting paid $9.00 an hour.

Yea haha, he had another one too... i think it was a mark II, but i cant tell,but he had two of them, each with big white glass.

About the cropping, i agree i over did it, its a learning experiance for me, as its only my second game. Next one should be better.
