Kickoff at Sunset

Posted by Walter (Watkinsville, United States) on 29 September 2008 in Sport & Recreation and Portfolio.

7:30 EST was the scheduled kick off time and it proved to be a beautiful night. Threatening rain moved out and the field provided an excellent sunset for the beginning of the game. This is directly from the camera with no editing as Chander (#3) begins his trot towards the ball on the tee.

Thank you for visiting and commenting. I really appreciate your honest opinions. Without them I cannot grow as a photographer. Like what you see, please rate my photos.

@Jason Kravitz: Thanks Jason. I was a little late to the game and did not have a lot of set up time, but was able to get off a few good shots.

Very nice. It kind of has a 3D quality to it as well.
