Good pcitures! Did you crop them? What type of camera did you use?

Nikon D2H with a Nikon 300mm 2.8 lens....no cropping...posted right out of the camera...lighting was tough...Goodpasture's field is well lit in the middle third with lighting dropping to almost unshootable in the 10 yard line to end zone areas. 1st night with that camera...gonna be a fun season...thanks

Come to the BA vs Centennial game tonight! I'd love to see some pics.

Great lens and camera. You demonstrated some good skills in framing your shots.

 

I prefer Canon, but cannot ignore your results. Did you have any blurred, out of focus shots?

 

What zone did you shoot in, or did you adjust the aperture and shutter speed manually?

 

Please become a Plus Member so that I can ask you some more questions in a PM.

All shots are always in focus and sharp....

 

I shot S mode in 500 speed and 800 ISO while light, after dark, switched to manual. Wide open aperture 2.8 and 1600 ISO, speed varied from 250 in end zones to 500 at midfield.

 

I shoot lots of photos and dump them as I go. Probably shot 300 frames, dumped 150 at the field, and culled down to 90 when I got home. I would not keep some of what I posted from a critical view, but for some kids, those are 1st catches, tackles, etc. and parents love them. This new D2H has 8 frames per second....that's flying! It made shooting so much fun. The rain hampered me in the 2nd half.

 

Feel free to ask me anything you want.... email can be found where I post the pics.

You need to stop taking pictures of those silly football players and get some real action shots of the hardworking pressbox gang. That's were the real work gets done!

 

Just kidding, great shots of the guys.

I may have to venture up to that area...especially if it rains again....maybe when the boys return to the friendly confines of the "Den" thumb

gr8miles will need to set his shutter speed to the hours setting to catch you and Bighurt at work.

gr8smiles, great job !

 

If you start taking pictures of Bighurt and Online, you can set the shutter very slow and you will get no blur.

 

By the way, with your increasing skills as a photographer, does Mrs. gr8smiles worry about the "Bridges of Madison County" syndrome?
