A few photos from Michigan vs Western Michigan 9/8/18
No field pass (or long lenses), but I took some photos from the stands yesterday. Was pretty happy with how they came out, so figured I'd share them here. Posting photos appears to be even more difficult than on the old site, so maybe this won't work, but here goes nothing.
Did partial Black & White edits on a couple--the Bush photo and McCurry's dive to the pylon.

Nice pictures. I especially liked the ones partially black and white.

No field pass and no telephoto lens and you can come up with this? You have the iphone 37?

I agree, what the hell were you shooting with? Are you from the future?

I have some long lenses that I use for wildlife photography, but since Michigan only allows lenses under 6 inches at athletic events, I use a Nikon 18-300mm zoom. It's just under 6 inches (hey, size isn't everything), so I can bring it into Michigan Stadium, Crisler, the soccer stadium, Canham Natatorium, etc.
At 18mm you can get a nearly fisheye view from inside the Big House. At 300mm you can get close to the action from far away.
Not as exciting as being from the future, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I guess it depends on if you consider 6 inches "long."
Yes, yes, that's what she said.

Ah yes McCaffrey to McCurry for the McTouchdown.

Good God Bredeson must be strong.

If I played for Western I would enlarge the Wilson up the middle photo and put it on that guys locker. I know... it's mean but it's hilarious to me. Great photos man, really.

McCurry looks like a 13 year old wearing his big brother's uniform. Good for him though. Hard work and determination to be on the team.

Those are some insanely good photos without a pro kit on hand. Good job and thanks for sharing!

We should all be able to take photos like these. Well done. Those are some great angles and action shots.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.
