It's been a while since I posted but here are some shots from some of the games I covered in the opening rounds of the PIAA HS Football Playoffs. C&C always welcome.

Thanks everyone. Comments much appreciated.
Andy…was covering for the paper for these games to tight was it.
Matt…this is a field I shoot night games at pretty regularly so I pretty much know I'll max out at 8000 at the start of the game in mid season. So I just set it and go. Different parts of the field will give me 1/1000 and 1/1250 SS as you will notice with #11 that drops to 1/1000……and I'm standing about 10 yards outside the end zone for that shot. But yeah…..this is a nice field to shoot night games at. One of my favs.
Frank, some of these we don't see any faces. Even though well composed and exposed, without faces they don't do us a lot of good, do they? I love #11 the best. Thanks for posting.
Marty…..that was a ripper….almost made my coffee go out thru the nose…
Steve…yeah you are right….no faces on a few and the "I wish I was over here or there" for some shots always replay after the fact. But in the same token….sometimes I like to go against the grain and say….maybe break the rules or even…hell there are no rules and just go with it. Some of these were game changing shots or something different from the norm. Like #5 where it was a clean run to the outside and he got some blocks and he's trucking right for the corner. I could have posted a clean frontal one with the ball tucked and his face in full view but I get these type shots all the time. So I went with this one which I don't get all the time and it was an impacting TD. Hope that give some rationale to the what's and why's. Thanks for your comments.
Russ….thanks bud. I'm happy I got that lens. It is a neat one to have in the bag and I'm having some fun with it. And yeah I agree with the boredom look on the CL. And when I look at it I wonder why I even shot it. A lot of times when I go to shoot the sidelines and they have a "blah" look….normally I will pull off.
