Lakewood Varsity Football vs Mayfair

Week -3

Lakewood vs Mayfair

Week three was better, but we still ended up with a loss.  The Milk Bucket Trophy, which has been housed at Lakewood High for the last eight years was lost and passed on to Mayfair, who will now keep it until our next meet up next year.

Still a lot of mistakes that need to be fixed before we start league in two weeks.

For this game I used my Canon 1DX matched up with my Canon 300 f/2.8L IS.  My settings were manual at f/2.8, Shutter at 1/1000, and my ISO started at about 1600 and ended at about 10000.

Here are my favorites from the game.

   

Lakewood JV Football vs Mayfair

Week -3

Lakewood JV vs Mayfair

I decided to head on over to Mayfair High so I could get some JV action in white jerseys.  Action wise it was a pretty good game and although Mayfair picked it up in the second half, I was able to get some nice shots on both sides.

I'm not sure what I did, but somehow I changed my file format from RAW to JPEG small.  I didn't notice until I went to upload the shots from my memory card to my laptop and 750 shots were done way too fast.  I then noticed the files were JPEG.  Of course I immediately went to my camera and made the change back to RAW for tonight's game under the lights.

I will say this, although the files are smaller, these have got to be the sharpest pictures I've ever taken and I'm not sure why that is.  Makes me want to shoot JPEG more often.

Here are my favorite shots from yesterday's game.

Lakewood Varsity Football vs Mayfair

Week 3 Football and our first home game.  Not only was this our first home game, but it was the rival game against Mayfair for the Milk Bucket trophy, which was currently held by Lakewood.

After two big losses from our opening game against Serra and followed by Loyola, Lakewood really needed a win and boy did they jump in feet first to get that win.

Lakewood dominated both side of the ball from kickoff to games end, winning 64-0.

I had a lot of opportunities for some great shots and had a blast covering this game, so please enjoy my favorites from the game.

Lakewood Freshmen Football vs Mayfair

Here we are at the start of week 3, which brings us to Mayfair and tomorrow night the Milk Bucket.

There's not a lot to say as my pictures are my words.  For me its all about the action and showing the intensity in which our young athletes compete at and I know you'll see that in these shots.

Enjoy
