Portrait or Children category? Since it's candid and non-posed, I'll put it

in Children.

Thanks.

 

Here's a picture of part of the crowd from the local paper. I actually found myself in the crowd (circled) holding up my camera.

Great shot... My favorite of the week. He's not the kicker, but it seems like he might've had an unfortunate role in a losing effort.

Well, I might as well make the Redskin's "Auburn Alumni" trifecta complete... Marcus Washington (#53 LB)

I saw Chris Hanessian's pictures from the game... he got several great shots... his seats must be right on the sideline.

I flipped through my pictures from the game... lots of pictures of Jason Campbell, but most are standard "pumped and ready to throw" stance... some nice ones at half time when he's tossing some warm-up throws with his helmet off, a good (all too rare) run, and some nice hand-offs.

Plus, I have a few in my gallery from this summer's Training Camp.

Anyways, here's one that shows a little bit of action, plus I managed to get some of his face through the helmet instead of just the back of his jersey...

War Eagle, Michael! (Class of '89)

 

I'll post some Jason Campbell shots from that game, too.

 

I'm going to AU vs WVU next month, but I don't think my Bigma lens will fare as well at a night game.

Great shot Chris! I was at the game too, but up in the 300 level. I just posted a Kurt Warner picture to my Gallery, but not quite this close! I'll post more throughout the week. Your Campbell and Kelly shots are nice, too.

>> thanks for the suggestion clarence, but the crop is too large and the layout of the page doesn't allow to see it. can you post it a bit smaller?

let's try resizing the crop to 500x500 pixels instead of 700x700...
