The wonders of shooting football in a well-lit stadium…
I compare shooting high school football to trying to take a picture inside a black hole. The lighting is so beyond inadequate for action shots I cannot even describe the frustrations experienced on the field. UNTIL NOW. Both Florence Christian Academy and Darlington High School have built new stadiums with AWESOME lighting. Granted it's not as good as an afternoon game, but it's as close as any photographer can hope to get for high school football. The endzones are always incredibly dark compared to the rest of the field and I snagged this shot of an interception in the endzone with the light highliting the players. I ran a shot I took a split second before this one in the paper, so I thought I'd share a close up version here.

Good pic. Did you notice the color of the ball?
