Being as I had never shot an NFL game before, my co-photographer Larry was kind enough to take me to the Seahawks vs. Cardinals game to show me the “ropes” recently.
Now most people think that being on the sidelines of such a thing is the ultimate experience, and don’t get me wrong it is a lot of fun but it’s crowded with a ridiculous amount of photographers, officials , security and who knows who so my bet is that it is much more enjoyable to watch a game from the stands where you can actually see what is going on and you don’t have to elbow your way along the sidelines to get a clean shot of the action on the field.
But I digress, a good time was had, a few nice photos were made (I was honestly just happy I got anything usable being as the only football I shoot these days is high school football) and Larry and I have decided we will happily once again give up our Sunday to shoot another game or two this season.
Here are a few of my shots from the first half, being as it was our day off and we weren’t technically required to stay for the whole game since we weren’t being paid, so we only stayed for the half and booked it out of there to catch the 3:00pm boat back to Bremerton:
Wow Meegan, that’s some awesome …whoa, cheerleaders … work there at the game. I love the action and features both on and off the field. And the extra point is up and good with the woman in the boat bathroom!
