Now that 2019 is here and the football season is over here in Detroit. I thought I would share some of my favor shots from the football season since I have not posted about any games yet. The football season consisted of mostly the NFL but also included college and high school.
Pregame
I approach NFL games in a three stage approach, pre-game, the actual game, and post game. Pre-game is always a good time to shoot creative shots as the players warm up. Additionally, it also allows a good opportunity to capture all the special effects that happen before the game.
