Hi all sport Hog's. Went and shot 3 games Wednesday, and my knees are killing me (1 1/2 games would have been enough). Look these over and let me have it. Thanks will be waiting. BE SAFE!!

These look good enough to me for MP. Be assured they will tell you if they aren’t

Image quality is very good! Only thing I would add is to try and avoid the face of the player shooting being blocked by their arm. The old "two eyes and the ball" approach.

And cull ruthlessly - send only your very best shots - no rear views (if possible), no blocked faces - only the ones you can imagine being on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

I got the first game on Max, put the other two on and waiting to see if Jim OK's them. The first game I sent in 104 and he accepted 100, so not too bad. Will see what happens. Thanks BE SAFE!!

Ok I see here that you can shoot this game. Like others have said do not post shots where the players are sideways, or arms blocking shooters faces. Exposure, image quality and white balance looks just fine. You did a very good job Tom. This should be a giant lesson, if Jim accepts 100 out of 104 that is telling me you did great. Now be consistent, stay focused, cull carefully. Yeah Tom Yeah Tom...!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first 6 were ISO 640, f/1.8 1/800 with 85mm, the last 4 were ISO 1600, f/3.2, 1/800 with 80-200mm f/2.8 lens. Half way through the last game my auto focus stopped working. I had dropped this lens 4-5 years ago and it broke the filter I had on it (thank GOD). I couldn't get filter off. Took to camera shop. He got it off and said there was some glass down inside and to take for now and when it gets stuck or not working right he would take apart and clean glass out. Well that was awhile back. I really thought WELL the glass has finally took its toll. When I got home though I was taking battery out of camera battery pack and the battery had slipped out of holder a little and apparently it was enough that there wasn't enough power to operate the auto focus. I was so happy when I put back in right and tried out my 80-200mm again and it worked.YEA!! OK enough of that. Waiting to hear from MaxPreps if they are taking my 2 other galleries, he took the first one already on Max. Thanks BE SAFE!!
