Default Colors and Faces Of Football

I love shooting pop warner sports because the kids always offer the best emotions and moments.

I was extra lucky this past Saturday because the two teams brought some nice bright colors to the field. The colors are slightly exaggerated, but I feel like that was what I noticed the most and wanted to bring across in the pictures. The colors were bright, the smiles were bright, and if exaggerating the colors a little gets my point across, then so be it. I think they turned out beautifully.

Love the gold here. Look at the full set for some awesome oranges.

The "fight" girl was REALLY into her cheerleading gig. You can tell by her body language in this picture. It is my favorite part of this picture.

DSC_0105

I took this picture crooked on accident but it actually looks better this way so I am gonna take credit for trying to take an interestingly angled picture.

These helmets were just laying there while the boys warmed up. I though it funny that they meant to line em up straight, but the snake like pattern made this picture what it is.

You can view more pictures from the set here: Bulldogs Homecoming - a set on Flickr

Thanks for the feedback. I am a color lover also and it is why I had so much fun doing this set. I have a ton of photos I took but the ones in the set are my favorites. Thanks for the compliments on crispness! It was one of the things I liked as well and try to make happen as often as I can through adjustment and making sure settings are right.
