Well another Saturday another football game. Today Pace lost a heart breaker to crosstown rivals Iona College.
What I'm going to try to do here is post some images from the events I shoot and post the technical data. I will post a few action images as well as my favorite sportrait and maybe a fan favorite. As it turns out I've got all 3 today.
This first one I'm always looking for some type of run back on a punt. So, from the sideline I am focused on the punt returner. As he made his way down field I was able to capture this image, with my Canon 20D. My settings for this were iso 200 Av mode with my 70-200 f/2.8 set to 2.8. I needed as much speed as I could get due to the rain and overcast skies.
Here this was an incomplete pass. But, looking for the pass down field I was ready for the play to come my way. Same settings as the previous shot. I don't change my setting unless the sun is setting during the game. Due to the rain the lighting was consistent. (poor but consistent)
On to the "SPORTRAIT" of the day. Here is where I try to capture some of the game emotions in the faces of the players. Settings are very basic 300mm lens and since it's not "L" glass (I'll be there some day Jim) it is shot @ f/5.6 and iso 800.
And last but not least the fan favorite of the day. I spend the down time of the game scouring the stands looking for that group of fans into the game.
And just one more action shot but noting to lose your head over.
The remaining images can be found on my main website in the "GAME DAY PHOTOS" section.
