Photo(s) of the Day

Saturday I was lucky enough to be on the sidelines of the college football game between the St. Joseph’s Pumas and the Valparaiso Crusaders. The purpose of my visit was to try and get some pictures that I cannot get from the stands at a game. What I found during the course of the game was how much the eyes in the pictures mattered. I would love a shot, but then the eyes would make it pop even more to me. I spent most of the game down on a knee if not lower to make the players appear even taller.

Technical Data

Because of the harsh sun I brought back some of the highlights and shadow detail, but other than that not much was done here. I love how easy sports images are to edit.

More From the Game

I normally don’t publish more than one image in a post. Today though I thought that I would share a few of my favorite images from the game on Saturday. I really had a great time making pictures at the game. I spend most of my time shooting landscapes and saying that gear does not matter. After shooting Saturday I can say for sure that gear really does make the difference in sports. I may have to try this experiment a few more times though to come to a more precise conclusion. After the jump you will find some more images from the game.
