Back on the Sidelines Photographing College Football

There really is nothing like the atmosphere of a college football game day. I love everything about it. I may have gotten to the stadium a little too early yesterday just out of excitement. I shot way too much of the warm ups, but as I have said before it is a chance for me to warm up as well.

Purdue Wins Their Opener

Purdue put up 43 points en route to a season opening win. As a photographer you like when your team gets in the end zone multiple times. When they only score one or two times it really puts the pressure on you to pick the right spot to stand. Today I guessed right a couple of times, but I also guessed wrong a couple of times. That is how it works. Shooting sports is messy, and sometimes you don’t always get the shot.

A Spirited Introduction To Shout!

Just before the fourth quarter Purdue volleyball head coach Dave Shondell pumped up the crowd. I have seen almost all of the Shout introductions, and this one might have been the best.

A Big Hit

During the fourth quarter Western Michigan defensive back Donald Celiscar laid a huge hit on Boiler running back Raheem Mostert. Celiscar appeared to knock himself out on the hit. From the reports of the sideline reporter for Purdue the hit broke the face mask of Mostert. You just don’t see hits that big anymore.

More Photos From the Game

Once again I have made an Exposure page. I really love the format, and the way that it allows me to show large amounts of photos at once. You can find the page here.
