Lions Football

I've been really busy shooting football and volleyball this season, but have been remiss about posting. Here are a few faves from the Lions' football season thus far. Oh, and by the way, we're in the playoffs! Game one is on Saturday afternoon. Yes, fellas, I get to shoot in the daytime!

#1: This kid had been out for four games. Upon his return, he ran 74 yards for a touchdown.

Great Shots!! I am doing the same for Wayne High School in SW Ohio. What Lens do you find on the camera the most and settings? Lighting, Cold, Rain and all the rest makie this a intersing sport to shot. I will post some images shortly.

Great Shots.....

Thanks. I've been using the Sigma 70-200 on one body and the 200L on the other one. The settings vary with the amount of light, but lately I've been shooting a lot at ISO 3200, f/2.8, and 1/250. Sometimes I have to adjust to compensate for the light fall off at the ends of the field.

Good luck in the playoffs Liza!

You guys are 2A right?

Maybe we'll see you in Champaign this year. Good luck in the playoffs, I have a game to shoot tonight and one tomorrow.

Liza,
Hopefully Marshall will make it to Champaign and several members of POTN can meet up. I cover the Aledo games and any Olympic conference teams. Good luck

It has a really surreal effect going on I feel, what are other peoples opinions?

Nah, we're 3A. Our enrollment is only 466, but our team has 68 members. Needless to say, football is popular in our tiny little town.

And thanks for the encouragement. We're hoping against hope to make it to Champaign, too. Tomorrow will be a real test, since it's been raining here for two days, and the field is muddy. I'm covering the game for one of the area papers, so I'll be on the sidelines freezing my butt off all afternoon.

I was pretty close considering I was going from memory!

I see the sun is out this morning, at least it stopped raining. Last nights game was a very exciting and muddy affair!

Update: We lost 40-10.

At least it was sunny and fairly warm.

Nice photos, and I like the way you put some information with them. Sorry to hear your team lost. Is this middle school or high school? If it's high school, your playoffs start a lot earlier than ours.

It's high school. The playoffs continue until the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Liza,
Kind of sad to see the football season winding down, but basketball is just round the corner. My son's Little League Football team has made the playoffs.....Lower bracket playing the top seed but they are there at least. Keep posting I miss your stuff.

Thanks, Rick. I can't wait for basketball season to begin. I have one more college football game to shoot and then girls b-ball starts on the 13th. Basketball is really my sport of choice.
