Shooting lacrosse is hard.
Here are some of the shots that actually came out half decent. You'll notice that there are very few action shots. There are some that refer to it as "the fastest sport on two feet." I can tell you they may be right after trying to photograph it.
Senior Blake Best, about to restart play from the endline.
Not sure who this is (can't make the number out, but I think it's 41, Tim Stratton), "cradling" the ball as he was trying to avoid an oncoming defender who didn't make it in to the shot.
A Towson player after getting rocked, looks to be 23, Clint Brakebill. If you have keen eyes, you'll see the he still has possession of the ball, though, good for him.
One of the things I love about the sport is that when the ball hits the ground sometimes, it simply becomes chaos. Tiger player off his feet, and a Penn player stuffed by his own teammate as they both are trying to get the ball at their own feet.
Two Tigers celebrating after a score.
Tiger moving on the net, ball cradled in stick, longstick defender right behind him, another defender right above him. Looks like it might be Clint Brakebill again
Some of the other shots were interesting, but not post worthy. Either blurry (or I had the wrong perspective in focus...like a few shots of faceoffs from ground level that would have looked great had I not been focused on the ground about 5 feet in front of them) or simply poorly framed with no easy fix. But enjoy these, lacrosse fans and non lacrosse fans alike.
That looks like it's about as challenging as trying to get a good photo at the Trop. Only the problem there is horrendous lighting. =P
ReplyDeleteHeh. I would have loved to deal with horrendous lighting over tracking those players.
