    Vote For Me Too!!!!!!!
    Hey Topher, I'm a finalist in the contest as well!

    I'm in the teen gallery though. Two of my photos were selected:

    In teen action, please help by voting for "Cruising Altitude".
    230970997-M.jpg

    And, in teen feature, please help by voting for "Sideline".
    230971019-M.jpg

    [Once you vote for one teen action and one teen feature, it will ask you to pick your favorite between the two... I am asking people who choose to vote for both of my images to choose the action photo "Cruising Altitude" as the all time favorite.(this is teen only, there is a separate favorite for adult)]

    Thanks a lot for your support everyone!
    Best of luck to you Topher! (We are not competing with each other as I am in the teen section.) Hopefully we can pull together some votes from Dgrinners!

    Ok, that is downright creepy! I voted on everything earlier when topher posted. It just is really wierd that the two that I voted for in the Teen Action and Teen Feature categories are the exact two that you just mentioned!! :Dclap.gifclap.gif

    I voted for all
    Great shots, I voted for all. I won the Shoot like a Pro contest this year with the San Diego Chargers and Canon. I won a D30 and side line pass for a Chargers home game. It was the first game this year agianst the Bears. What a time, I shot over 300 shots and spent the whole game on the sidelines. It is a lot harder to shot the game than you think. The action is so much faster, player and officals get in the way. Plus looking through a 300mm lens brings everythng so close it is hard to key in on the action. Being at the right place at the right time is key to getting the shot. Luck is the biggest part of it. Best laid plans go out the window as soon as you hit the sideline. Hats off to the pro's who shoot these games each week. I picked the best from the day and it is posted on my Smugmug site.

    Good luck on your photos, the Super Bowl would be a great prize.

    Very cool cool tuna..... shooting via 300 and 400 mm glass is all i do .... i would very much like the chance to shoot @ the actual super bowl but i strongly suspect that the prize is just tickets to watch the game .... i would much rather be on the field shooting the game :D

    thanks for the help everyone !!
