 p.1 #1 · Oregon v Arizona FB - C&C welcome | |
This was a shoot out (as Scott mentioned) but for some reason it seemed like plays either happened away from me, or I got blocked by an official, a coach, you name it...frustrating game.
Here are a few shots from the day - it was senior day and the first two reflect what I think is the essence of sports, the relationship between player and coach. Coach Mike Bellotti has been particularly proud of the leadership his seniors have shown throughout a "rebuilding year" and I think it shows on his face.
#1
#2
#3 - The game got off to a quick start for Oregon, as their sophomore QB Jeremiah Masoli shook off this tackle to score the first of his three rushing TDs in the first half. It was a 60+ yard run that taught me the danger of creeping up the sideline instead of just waiting in the endzone for the team to come to me. The much better shot was from the end zone of Masoli being pursued by AZ defenders.
#4 - Not only was Masoli amazing on the ground in the first half, but he also was 19-21 in the air. Here, Terrance Scott heads for the endzone with the help of a crushing block by Ed Dickson (in the background). Yeah, feet would have been nice...but I'm realizing I like shooting landscape as opposed to portrait. My personal opinion is that it gives a better sense of the context of the moment, whereas portrait provides a better "full body" shot for selling. I have wondered if this is a difference between shooting to sell and shooting to cover the event. Your thoughts?
#5 - Masoli scores again...his third of the half. I like this shot for the moment, as well as for the backlighting created by the time of day/stadium lighting. Again, with the portrait mode you'd miss out on the defender lying on the ground to the right, and perhaps even the defender on the left. Interesting side note...the "wings" on the shoulder pads apparently are made of material that helps stop the fabric on the shoulders from deteriorating while keeping the jersey the lightest any jersey has ever been. Who knew
Well, there you have it - fire away and let me know what you think. Should be an interesting Civil War between Oregon and Oregon State in two weeks.
