The story: High school football scrimmage. Starters only played for one quarter, but I knew this QB would be scrambling all over the place. Set up right around the line of scrimmage, caught this one when he pulled a Mike Vick and tried reversing himself in the backfield.
Why I like it: This is a good example of the compression and perspective you get from shooting from a low angle. I was on both knees, shooting from monopod at lowest height (maybe 20 inches?). It has that unique quality that your typical amateur won't get from a standing position. I love using the grass as a level frame to the bottom of the image. I love the blue, red and green repeating across the image. And I like it particularly as a PJ, because this guy scored two rushing TDs.
I hate that pole in the background.
