The BFA St. Albans Freshmen football team took on the BFA Fairfax JV team and came away with a win, despite giving up a loooong TD pass on the first offensive play of the game. Our friend Sam plays for St. Albans, so I swung by for some photos. I spent the first quarter shooting #72, only to find out Sam had switched to #62! I did get to see NMC's new Athletic Trainer in action -- what a great new service!

It was the first try at football under the lights with the D300, so I learned a lot about when to shoot (before sunset), what lens to use (the 1.8 once the lights come on), and where to shoot (in the corners, as there's no light in the center of the field). I didn't get much of anything for photos (dark, grainy) but I'm anxious to build on the experiment and try again ... still, they're kind of fun.
