Shooting HS Football

dadwtwins

The last few weeks I had a ton of fun shooting H.S. Football. It is not my usual photography job but maybe it should be. I am a real sucker for action shoots. It reminds me of fishing or hunting in the sense that you sit patiently for a shot that you know is there but have to wait until the right moment. Sometimes you miss but sometimes you catch that right moment in time that makes a very powerful shot. I would be very happy to capture one great shot per game but hope for many more.

Here are a few of the shots I was able to capture,

If I like the shoot enough, I will convert them into B&W just to give it more drama as in the examples below.
