<p>I always try to position myself with the team I want to shoot coming toward me. Know the down and distance. If it's third and long, or even second and long, odds are that a pass play is going to be in the mix. <br>

If you see the QB drop back to pass, notice which way he is looking. Quickly locate the reciever down field, press and hold the shutter release. Eventually, you'll get the hang of it. Also, if you can, see if the team will let you shoot during a practice. This will help you better understand the mechanics of the passing game and work on your timing as a photographer.<br>

<p>I'm new to photo.net and the timing of this post could not have been better. I shot an Alumni softball game at a D2 school where my daughter once played. <br>

I thought I'd try shooting through the chain link (with the lens hood attached of course) and was very happy with the results. Thanks everyone!<br>
