The end of summer brings back high school football and with it the time-honored ritual of packing your stadium to cheer on the local team as they face the adversary from that other town. Rivalries form and increase the excitement and intensity of the atmosphere. Our local team had their first home game of the season last night in one of their toughest tests for the season. The Friday night lights were shining bright, the fans were energized, the players fighting hard. Then it came to half time and a thunderstorm decided to add its own lights! The second half had to be played this morning - I guess we can call that Saturday morning clouds.
A big benefit of being a sports photographer is the opportunity to be at field level with a closeup view of the action. You almost feel like you are part of the action. Clearly, the nuances of facial expressions are easier to see as are the shouts of the players to one another. Lots of excitement. Here are some shots from the game. (Support your local team!)
