Choking on the big stage

I imagine having a nationally-televised camera literally hovering over your shoulder while you work is a _bit_ stressful.

Empty backfield against a blitz-happy 3-4... riiight. That sure worked out well.

Play is already over... ugh.


Anyway, re:photography... Light was, as always, a big issue. I needed _very_ fast shutter compared to photographing cars/bikes/etc. A car body is a single, uniform subject that you can very easily freeze by tracking it as you fire off shots. A human body, with it's various flailing limbs, affords none of that. I had to crank ISO up to get the necessary speeds (at least 1/320 sec), but at ISO 3200, my shot-to-shot times rocketed to 1+ seconds.
