First HS football game of the year C&C

[jmandell]

Here is a set from the first HS game of the year. I took the advice I recieved in my other thread about straightning, tighter crops, shooting lower, etc.

I am really pleased with these:
#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

#6

#7


Any C&C appreciated

the first 3 are really dark and WARM. 4, 5 and 6 look much better. 7 is really dark.
You have gotten close to the action and isolated them nicely! They are some really odd crops that won't print to any standard size.

With 1-3 the shutter speed accidentally got bumped up to 1/6400 when I was wanting about 1/3000 and I had to brighten in lightroom and they sort of weird much past where they are, they were also in the golden light of sunset which explains the warmth. I understand what you are saying about the crops, if I want to print them I will change the crop for normal sizes.

Thanks for your comments.

Without seeing the originals cant really tell what they are cropped down from. I personally like #1 and #6 for the sole reason I can tell they are taking place in a game. #1 is my favorite just on pure content as I can see him shrugging off the tackler. The others could be during a practice and don't really have any drama implied into them.
