Howdy! Cross-Town football game, Larkin High School versus South Elgin High School. Shot almost entirely with the 7D at ISO4000 around 1/500th or 1/640th and the 300mm f2.8L IS @f2.8. Pretty neat camera, at least as good AF as my 1D Mark II, much better ISO noise and color. Lighting on the field was pretty good, but HUGE fall off towards the side and end zones (like about a whole stop and a half!)

Thanks for looking! C&C welcome, as always. The ones with the captions are the better shots. We only turn in 9-12 for print, the rest went into a gallery.
Looking pretty decent for 4000 iso, they still could use some cleaning up with noise ninja. I tweaked number 4 and it came out pretty good after a quick pass through Noise Ninja and quick punch in vibrancy and sharpening.
