This was one stressful game!

[MLeeK]

The reffing was HORRIBLE this weekend for EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. I went to. HORRIBLE. I think one ref was literally special ed.
Here's my favorite shot from the game

And a few more:

Captain's meeting

Gimme everything you've got!

Nice set!

Thanks! It helps that this is one of my favorite fields to shoot on. The lights aren't the brightest, but they aren't a cycling problem much at all. Sure makes my job a whole lot easier!

Nice action in #1. I like em.

#4: Wow.

BTW - there are at least 3 football photo threads going on right now.

'Tis that time of year! I have another football game today. Then soccer and swimming tomorrow, volleyball on Wednesday and back to Football on Saturday. It's my Christmas money!

Nice, I really like 1 & 2. They ALMOST make me wished I was back in uniform. (except for that running part).

Really like the set. #1 is awesome! Great job!

Good shots, i would prefer a tighter crop on the action but that is my personal preference.

The photographs are very good, thanks for posting.

The reffing needs to improve. Besides writing letters to the commissioner, I don't know what else we can do.

I asked my girlfriend the same thing. It's pretty cool to see these tough guys doing that. Heh..

It's their "brotherhood" thing. I am not sure I'd be up for it, but they are a pretty awesome team, this group! I have one other team that the coaches really instill the unity of the team in them and it's pretty cool to see how it REALLY works.

WOW. Nice.
I honestly can't decide if seeing these motivates me to keep working to improve, or makes me want to STOP trying to do sports photography.

I took pictures at a football game this weekend too--however, it was from the HH section of Neyland Stadium (with my 55-300 that I smuggled into the game, lol) so they are not exactly "up to my 'usual' standards." HAHAHAHA :lmao:
I'll probably put 'em on Flickr just for fun. I figured it was probably still good practice, following the action, trying to get the "action" shots, etc.

I've got my next soccer game tonight--I think the only thing I need to do now to get photos as good as yours is...get a better lens. And hire a better photographer.

Seriously, these are nice, and great inspiration to keep plugging away at it!

Volleyball photography is awesome. I play in third division in the Norwegian League, so I'm a little biased Action shots in volleyball are yummy! A good pancake, a mailbox block or a three meter spike. <3
