Gear: Canon 5D Mark III; Canon 70-200 2.8L
Settings: f/2.8, 1/1600th of a second, ISO 200, 90mm
The story: At long last, a football game during the day! Division II, Saginaw Valley State University at Ashland University. Shot mostly with the Nikon D300S / 300mm 2.8 setup (which I now firmly believe has a back-focusing problem that flubbed the focus on most of my photos), and the 5DIII in close quarters.
Why I like this shot: GREAT ACTION. This is my first real sharp shot of good football action, ever. End zone. Ball being swatted. Receiver's hands grasping hair. Scene is set pretty well, and both players are hanging above the action, in the sky.
There's usually an internal battle for sports photogs about finding good action and making a good photograph. This photo leans on the good action side of things, but I'm OK with that. I can dig it.
