This is my very first HS football photo, Nov. 12, 1969. Peabody Times Sports page. w/Minolta SRT 101 & 200mm f 4 lens, 1 shot only, no meter drive. Very heavy rain thought-out the whole game. Kodak TRI-X ASA 400 35mm 36 EXP film, pushed 1 stop!

Manual focus lens. Peabody HS no longer plays Salem HS in football. I was 21 years old in the making and soaked!!!

Now that is superb! I loved Tri-X and HP5. My go to film was CN400. I loved the Sepia tones.

I guess I was about 8 years old at the time. What a superb capture!

Although I had already graduated (Class of 69), I see my high school (Woburn) lost to Danvers that day.

Welcome, Stan! Sports is a BIG field in photography. In the film days it was tough to do because you had to keep that focus perfect on your manual focus lens! The longer the lens the more tougher it is! AP
