Leaping Around the Field...

Shooting both teams can be both beneficial and a burden. So, when I shot the ACU game against Midwestern State, I had to shoot MSU for the Wichita Falls paper. Usually if I have to shoot both teams I will concentrate on the offenses. Meaning if there is a big defensive play or a big sack I'm usually going to be on the wrong side of the ball. It happens and there's just nothing you can do about it, you can be everywhere on the field, you just need to take your chances and hope something happens on the side of the ball your watching.

Well, luckily, during this game I seemed to be on the right side of the play a few times. It also helps that the Midwestern running back like to hurdle defenders... that's always nice. Add in a few nice plays by ACU including a really nice catch and I can leave after the game with a smile on my face instead of knowing what I missed.

ACU Football...

The funny thing about my job is I often get a lot more time to shoot high school football games than I get for the local colleges. So, when I do get the whole game to shoot it's really nice, especially when it's an afternoon game and the weather is what you would expect on a nice Fall day. Last Saturday was like that, I only had two assignments and the time on the other one was late and pretty flexible, so I got to shoot the whole game. It's even nicer when the photo gods are smiling on you and giving you good pix when the light is right.
