North Oconee Defense

North Oconee defensive coordinator Bob Krieger is surrounded (l-r) Trent Mattox, Trey Reed, Sean Olinger, and Greg Hall on Thursday, October 28, 2010 in Bogart, Ga. North Oconee's defense has not allowed a point in their past three games.

As usual, I'm asked to do a group portrait involving the defensive coordinator. These are HARD because I need to highlight one person out of a group. How I did this after the jump....



My main idea was to flip it to tungsten & put a CTO Gel on a grid and shoot that, letting the players be in a different color temp. Once again, this was scheduled for before practice, which was around 4pm. The sun was still pretty high in the sky which meant shooting around f/16-f/18 at ISO 100 and blasting the SB-800 at full power.

I should have put secondary flashes to throw some light on their faces instead of lightning them in photoshop. It just doesnt look right that way.

It was a daily portrait. It told the story, it carried the page.
