First football of the season

Thursday, September 15th, 2011

I kicked off the 2011-12 col­lege sports sea­son on Sep­tem­ber 3 at Macalester Col­lege in St. Paul, Min­nesota where the Grin­nell Pi­o­neers came to visit the Scots. It was an over­cast day and rain passed just north, but it stayed nicely dry on this stretch of Snelling Avenue.

Macalester quar­ter­back Clark Bled­soe hands off to T. Joe Loiselle dur­ing a game be­tween the Scots and the Grin­nell Pi­o­neers on Sep­tem­ber 3, 2011 in St. Paul, Min­nesota. Grin­nell de­feated Macalester 31–6. Loiselle gained 48 yards on the day.

Grin­nell cen­ter Quinn Rosen­thal pre­pares to snap the ball in a game be­tween the Pi­o­neers and the host Macalester Scots on Sep­tem­ber 3, 2011 in St. Paul, Min­nesota. The Pi­o­neers de­feated the Scots 31–6.

Macalester line­backer Levi Brown pre­pares to tackle a Grin­nel player dur­ing a game be­tween the two schools on Sep­tem­ber 3, 2011. Grin­nell de­feated the host Scots 31–6, in St. Paul.

Grin­nell wide re­ceiver Cody We­ber cel­e­brates his touch­down re­cep­tion dur­ing a game be­tween the Pi­o­neers and the host Macalester Scots on Sep­tem­ber 3, 2011. We­ber had 5 catches for 43 yards.

Lo­gan Granera, the Grin­nell wide re­ceiver, who also han­dles kick­ing and punt­ing du­ties, take a point af­ter at­tempt dur­ing a game against the host Macalester Scots on Sep­tem­ber 3, 2011. Granera had seven catches for 83 yards and a touch­down, adding a field goal in the sec­ond quar­ter as well as four P.A.T. in the sec­ond half.

Grin­nell line­backer Je­remy Wiles fires up the Pi­o­neers side­line in the sec­ond half of a game against the host Macalester Scots. The Pi­o­neers won 31–6 while Wiles had two solo tack­les and two assists.

You may be ask­ing why these are all cropped square and the rea­son is that when I first processed these the port­fo­lio show I was go­ing to be in was think­ing of do­ing a square crop theme and and I wanted to try to ap­ply that to sports.

For my Sep­tem­ber 23, 2009 fea­tured photo, I choose one that is a few weeks old.

Too bad I don’t have a 135mm f/2.0; 1/640 @ f/2; ISO 400 would look sweet.

HS Football: Hutchinson @ Northfield

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Went to the North­field High School foot­ball game tonight. I watched a bit of the first half and shot the sec­ond half for fun. Hutchin­son won 19–14 with the Raider’s QB Sam Maus (col­lar­bone) out in the first quar­ter, North­field seemed a bit slug­gish on offense.
