Football - Mighty Bowl

I had an opportunity to shoot a Mighty Bowl last weekend. It was a very exciting game. Too bad the score was tied 6-6 but those little guys gave it all they got and had a great time.

Some pics. All shot with the 200+1.4tc except #1

#1. Pre coin toss

I'm surprised to see there are no comments on these because they're good -- really good. Excellent colors, lots of action and near perfect exposure considering the harsh light you had to deal with. #6 is slightly underexposed but since it looks like he ran into the shade just as you pulled the trigger that's a toughie. IMO #2 is your best shot -- love the eyes!

Great shots, Mate. Just by looking at those pics, you can feel the game. Nice colors, sharp (dirt flying up during the tackle on #4). Love the QB sack, only because I played DT in school. Great fun, thanks for sharing!

Kerry, thanks for the nice words. I don't know why it slipped to far down either but I think maybe because we have a lot of great football pics on this forum.
The lighting wasn't that bad but that shade area was tough. Luckily it was only a small area.

puddlepirate44, thanks. These little guys were tough. They were flying in to make a tackle and you could feel their intensity from the sideline too. You see a lot of gang/team tackles

This little guy got rough up pretty good.

Great shots - I like the Breakaway shot and the last one posted. Gotta' like the gang tackles (coming from an ex-d-lineman0

Very nice "crispy" shots. What lens did you use again? a 200mm f/1.4?

Nice shots, #2 was also my favorite.

Thanks for the comments. It was really fun shooting POP Warner football as the parents on the bleachers were a show by themself alone .
Can't wait until next year.

Deedee0, They were shot with the 200/f1.8 and a Tamron 1.4x TC.
