Well I say that like I have made a living there, actually only my third game to ever cover a game there ....but also my last :)

C&C appreciated... these are all without any sharpening or noise reduction

Wylie vs Cedar Hill (tx), Wylie wins 31-21 - Region Champs

#1 300mm, 2.8, 1/1000 ISO 1600

#3 is fantastic with #6 a very close second...

I'm sure Jerry's new palace will be much, much nicer. Having done several NFL games at Texas Stadium (for TV) can't say I'll miss it.

Matt, they look very nice. My C&C may seem obvious but I would use some NR and sharpen them. Unless you are demonstrating the gear, why not make them the best they can be. I rarely see stuff out of high end Canon gear that can't use some sharpening due to the strong AA filter. the NR you can probably get way with nothing except the heavy crops where it's a little too much noise imo. I think that NR, used sparingly can clean things up nicely with little to no obvious reduction in detail.

I agree, I was very lazy with the PS this time. Maybe some people will enjoy seeing the originals..at least thats my story :)

The lighting at Texas Stadium really is horrible. Hopefully I will get a chance in the new stadium next year.

ISO1600 f/2.8 and 1/1000s is "horrible"? I think every HS sports shooter I know just choked on their lunch.

Well its not the amount of light that is the issue. I guess I should say mid day games the lighting is terrible. At night it was lit very well.
