It's High School Football Season

Well, I decided to try my hand at football/sports photojournalism. I had a blast and it helped that it was Junior Football League (JFL) night so I had to be there as my daughter is now a JFL cheerleader (there were 80 little girls on the field at half time. Kindergarten to sixth grade. Madness, but they were oh so adorable). So, thought I would practice. I used my 200mm 3.5 Tokina manual focus lens, my Sigma 70-300mm 4-5.6 manual focus lens and my Oly 40-150mm auto focus lens. It is really hard to get used to focusing my shots but I am enjoying it. I have to really think about a shot and compose in my head so that I can quickly focus. But it is a reward in itself when I get a good shot. I saw that kids get crazy about their teams as evidenced by the line of shirtless high schoolers. I wonder will they go shirtless when its colder. Oh well. And oh yeah, Ashland won.
