Let me Have a Look at that Hand... [Football Pictures]

I've been learning sports photography, little by little. I like to watch football, but have certainly not learned enough to be able to predict the next play. And that puts me at a decided disadvantage, trying to follow the action with my lens. But I am learning.

Somehow I knew where the ball was for this capture of high school football in Philadelphia. Or, I got lucky!

Terrific action shot, Michelle! Sports photography would be great fun, I'd think, but I'm quite sure it's very difficult to do. #10358636Mariann Kovats October 06, 2012

Wow! What an awesome capture, Michelle! You timed it perfectly! I doubt luck had anything to do with it ... well, maybe a little. Ha! Ha! This image is good enough to be on a Sports Illustrated cover! ... You'll have to start photographing the Big Leagues though! Wonderful colour, clarity, detail and action! Excellent work! :) #10360510Linda S. Smith October 08, 2012
Fabulous stop action shot here Michelle! Looks like you were right on target with this one ;-) #10360804Emile Abbott October 09, 2012
Having been a sports photographer for decades it is all about knowing the sport first, watching where the action is going to be, getting down low as you can, hoping for bright sunlight to be able to use lower ISO and higher shutter speed, fast burst speed as possible and shear luck. Nice action capture, Michelle. #10362325frank w. degenhardt November 29, 2012
