Andy if you keep taking photgraphs that focus on Bison some of us might start to think you have a weird fetish.

He poses well. What can I say. I actually take shots of a bunch of you on a regular basis, but most of those look like utter crap. Then again, maybe it's not the camera. :D
I only regret that the Freedom are pretty much out of business, ruining my ability to get new photos of Sarah Kate Noftsinger. You guys need to get her to join your tailgates.

Get rid of this guy, and 1/2 of your problems are solved.
Seriously.

Wow, that might be record time for me. :)
I need to play around with manual a bit more. My shots are too dark, but I think I did ok for my first time ever shooting completely on manual with my camera. What's funny is that when I first bought a camera back in the early '80s, it was a Pentax K1000. Back in those days the only choice was shooting 100% manual.

I didn't like the end result of this one

But I like the way the shot turned out. The photo shot, I mean.
And a little post goal agony on Nicky's face

They are also red. Scott and I noticed that over the weekend, too.
You might try adding an "auto-contrast" step to your watermark action. That is if you're using a late enough version of PS.

I'll do that. I have Photoshop CS. Do you adjust the brightness on yours too?

Great shots guys! Thanks for sharing as usual!
Lets just hope the next photos of any United supporters... we all have SMILES on our faces. ;)

Maybe?

(I'm reminded of the time I got put on the big screen at Foxboro during the Gold Cup Tripleheader last summer, which drew a "Media Whore!" chant from some of the midnight riders. How I laughed.)

This is pretty much what Rimando did all night. Got on his knees and bent on over.
Alejandro Moreno is off camera smoking his cigarette.

I think you're going to have to shoot more games in San Jose to get her. She just got hired at Stanford to be an assistant coach to their women's team.

Not on the web shots. We might want to get you a gray-card and do some custom white balancing. If you view all the thumbnails on one page, you'll see the definite red cast to your shots. Some of that can be taken out post-processing, but if we really want to turn your shots into stock, we need to fine tune what the camera puts out.

I look forward seeing these photos each week...they're great.
One small request: Can you take the team photo at the beginning of each game, like you did the first couple of games? It's a nice record of how they started.
Other than that, I love your work!

No offense, but we don't really take requests - unless you're writing us a check. As a rule, we do look to take team photos, but the teams don't always cooperate, and as another rule, we've pretty much stopped putting up photos that don't look good (in other words, if the team photo was mildly out of focus, you ain't gonna see it).
