Not quite up to Bluesman standards, but at least our weather is generally a bit better! Arizona State Univ. v. Brigham Young (currently top ranked collegiate team) playing in Scottsdale AZ. I talked my way onto sidelines (a large white lens and look of confidence) but could only get on side that had me shooting into sun. Faces in shade so opened up a stop and worked with shadow slider in Lightroom 5.

Good match even though final score was lopsided for BYU. ASU controlled the ball but couldn't punch it in, and BYU would steal or break and go on 80 meter runs for try.

Cheers,

Jeff

    #1, maybe crop in a tadge?
    #2, perhapse lose a little space from the Right
    #3, great capture but a little hot!

    Thanks Graham. Agree on all counts.

    Getting hot here in AZ so the rugby will slow down for summer, but making contacts with some local teams to determine fall schedules for more photo opportunities.

    Cheers,
