Start of the Lacrosse Season

JohnEBongo

Here are a few shots from the first weekend of the lacrosse season. This is my first try at lacrosse and I am still shaking off the rust from a winter spent in badly lit, stuffy gyms shooting basketball. Man, am I glad to be outside again!!! Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

1. The face-off.


2. Getting pressure from behind.


3. Headed downfield


4. A "sportrait"


5. "Keep your eyes on the ball"

Some of the nicest Lacrosse shots I've seen, tight, colors pop, exposure dead on, clean backgrounds. Thanks for showing these, beautifully done.

Thanks Randy & Dan! Yes, Randy, faces are the key to a good shot, that's why I love shooting with the 400, to get in tight and get the faces.

90% of lax shots show no face, yours stand out as special
i don't have a 400 so I shoot womens lax
