It is football time, and there is no better time.  I had the chance to spend some time on the sidelines on friday night under the lights.  It was a great time, the day was a bit cloudy to start out with but once the clouds split the sun shown thru and the lighting was great.   Very warm light. long shadows and some good football produced some great photos.  It took some time to get some good action shots and a near collision, but well worth it.  I now have a better understanding of sports photography and the reasons why they need long lens and fast shutters.
