So yeah. Every once in awhile you can get a good high school football field that looks decent at night. Me, i HATE the on camera strobe look of high school football. So this leads a photographer to either 1 - pray for an early start time (1:30 PM is a great time) or 2 - pray for good lighting. Anything that is faster than 250 @ 2.8 @ 1250 ISO is usually a godsend. Usually then i can get at least the eyes or some key feature of the players nice and crisp. I'm expecting motion blur, and all these photos have it. Shame it wasn't daylight.
Usually I've found the private schools have the best lighting. The best was Jacksonville Bolles (they have artificial turf too) but Prince Ave here in Athens was a close 2nd. Exposure could have been 1/400th in the center of the field. It was one of those games where we were covering 2 local teams, so its a case of just photographing who has the ball.
All in all, i had a pretty good game shooting. Sometimes i have a hard time reading the play. (I know baseball much better than football) but i was able to pick up the pass patterns pretty easily.
And this is a pretty bizarre attempt at framing a replica of Ben Epps' first airplane as seen through a set of aviator's goggles.
