My Favorite Football Shots of The 2012 Season
I only shot four more games this year than I did in 2011, but having a Season Photo Credential to shoot the Bucs (for Zuma Press) sure made it a lot easier (the stadium is just 25 minutes from my house).
I didn’t get to shoot any college games this year (just NFL) but while the Bucs were on the road, I did get to shoot a few other NFL games, which is always a blast. This season I shot 14 games in all (with one more to come — the Falcons first playoff game at home). But until then, here are the teams I got to shoot this season (so far):
- Tampa Bay Bucs
- Tennessee Titans
- New England Patriots
- Carolina Panthers
- Washington Redskins
- Atlanta Falcons
- Denver Broncos
- New Orleans Saints
- Detroit Lions
- San Diego Chargers
- Jacksonville Jaguars
- Chicago Bears
- Dallas Cowboys
- Philadelphia Eagles
- St. Louis Rams
There are only four NFL teams I haven’t had the opportunity to shoot yet: The Seattle Seahawks [shooting them on Sunday in Atlanta], Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, and the Baltimore Ravens.
And as we're kicking off this New Year, I thought I'd take a look back at some of my favorite shots from this past season. All of them pretty much shot with the same set-up: 2 camera bodies: Nikon D4 and a D3s. Main lens: 400mm f/2.8. Secondary lenses: 70-200 f/2.8,24-120mm f.4, and 15mm Sigma fisheye. NOTE: These look much better larger, so please click on them to see a larger size). Here they are (in no particular order).
There ya have it, folksâ”-my favorite shots from this season
Thanks to everybody who tolerated all my football posts once again this season and to everybody who supported me throughout the year with your kind comments. I love sharing what I pick up from these games (good and bad), and it's been really fun having you all along with me for the ride. :)
P.S. Today was supposed to be Part II of my “Best of the Blog” but I got in too late (more on that soon), so I’m shooting for that tomorrow (if all goes well). See you then.
