HS Football @ Cowbys Stadium

Great experience covering the games at the new stadium. C&C welcome, and yes the lighting was to die for as compared to typical HS football.

#1

You have to love Texas football.

Those are really nice!

Perfect timing/position/isolat​ion on the pending catch on #1. Plus mid-air stride.

Great eyes on #2.

#37 diving in the background really makes pic #3.

Love the angle on #5, you can anticipate the hit coming, but know he's in for the TD.

In #6, if you crop just to the left of the red shoe, you can lose the white t-shirt int he background.

wow
amazing shots
good work

Thanks for the comments, especially Clarence for your detailed thoughts.

Matt, you got some great stuff here.

1. Love it, nothing I'd change here at all.
2-3. Tighter crops and bring down your highlights a fuzz
4-5 Great emotion and action, tone down the contrast a touch and bump your shadows
6. Made me tinkle it was so good! If anything maybe a 5-10% soft light layer.

Really top notch stuff man.

Matt,

Really like the pictures. It's amazing what great lighting will do. When you go back and hit the high school stadiums, you will think they forgot to turn the lights on.

How much processing did you do on these shots?

#3 Uh oh for the defense
#5,6 - really nice shots

These were all interesting, nice shots!

these guys play hard haha

Good stuff Matt. Why are they playing in the stadium and how many punts hit the scoreboard?

These are great images, spot on exposures. I am sure Jerry Jones put in enough lights to help you with that. Haha

Great shots! damn I wish I had a longer lens! (Story of my life :lol

Scott, great comments...thanks!

Appreciate all the other nice words as well!

I shoot RAW so just standard USM and I have a CS3 batch I use

No even close on the punts...it is crazy to think it would be hit in real situations.
