Monthly Archives: September 2011 Writing on Google+ on September 19th, Scott Kelby displayed a photo of a football game where someone had walked between him and his subject just as the shutter fired.

Some very nice images there Richard. I thought the noise was pretty good for 6400.

Even with some of the difficulties, these are some really great shots! They take me back to my old 4-H county fair days! Very cool!
That poor mutton busting kid, though, oh my god! I think those two pictures are my favorites.
I love how you got the shadows in those shots – it adds a cool feel to things. I guess you either thank your settings or the arena lights!
