Local HS doesn't have any lights so they play Sat at 1 (EST)....forecasted clouds failed to appear

Good practice to work on my timing and adjusting to my 400.

Luck for you that they don't have lights. They should take down the crappy lights at 60%-75% of the HS fields in the country.

You did a good job with the light and the action.

These are simply too bright for my eyes. Can you please avoid posting HS football photos that are NOT taken at night. My poor eyes are wayyyyyy too sensitive to the light.

Did you shoot Aperture Priority on your D3s(es)? Kind of surprised that you did with full sun, but the results are very impressive from an exposure standpoint. Images number 1 & 8 are a little blue on the WB compared to the rest of the set in my opinion, but other than that they are spot on.

Love the "grass" flying off the ball carrier in number 2. Looks like you were prone to get that mass of humanity in number 3. Number 4 is my favorite (Can you brighten exposure just a touch for his eyes inside the cage? #5 is a cool perspective.

I have struggled for years to find an angle I like for kickers. I have recently have gone to their "open side." If you shoot from the corner of the endzone you can often keep the holder out of the photo but get a better shot of the kicker. Like your timing on #6 though. Good work. If you could please call the AD before you shoot next time to have him/her move those soccer nets, I would appreciate it.

Great isolation on #7 (love that 400 bokeh and New England foliage. Killer combination.) #9 is so close to being perfect. I personally wish the ball were all there. It's a very nice shot -- and it should sell, but the purist in me wants all the ball to be there.

Very nice work Chris.

ha ha thanks Rick...I do shoot AP. If the light isn't changing much I'll switch to M. Yeah I almost went to Cloud WB but stayed Sunny; I can warm them up a tad.

I was on my knees for the shots. Kickers are tough. I was shooting portrait, but might try landscape to include the ball in the frame as well. , I may actually mention something to the AD about the soccer goals.

I kind of thought the same about #9...I have another one w/ full ball but didn't think it was as strong...

That's a lotta light - look at those shutter speeds.
Looks as if you have the 400 dialed in.
Thanks for sharing!

I'm definitely getting spoiled :-) Will be shooting FNLs this coming weekend so we'll see.

Thanks, I'm really enjoying the beast.

Chris - another nice set!

Nice colors and sharpness.

I'm not qualified on the 400....but based on these images, looks like you are within standards!

Nice job and thanks again for sharing your D3s settings from the previous post....always looking at getting the most out of my gear.

Thanks for sharing!

Nice set and I agree the daylight is a little hard on my 53 year old eyes.

I would shoot a whole lot more HS football if it was in the daylight.

Thanks for sharing,

BC

#9 is great but I feel like the shot in the burst after it would be even better.
Overall a really nice set
