You ever heard of a flash for your camera? Geesh.

That`s actually a relevant question you (sort of) ask.

I use a camera with a telephoto lens with settings I customized to capture action on lit fields at night. There is a big difference between doing this and taking photos during daylight games.

The good thing about the camera and settings is that I CAN capture game photos - though there is slight blurring in some from the non-focused part of the frame or in photos where the players are across the field.

The bad thing is that I need to stand back 50 feet from teams to take team photos at the end.

There are often friends and family also taking team pics with phones and other cameras. If a team would like to replace any of the team photos on the site that I took with one taken by a device more suitable for close up non-action photos I will gladly do that, no problem.

Are you serious? Get a life! Tom, as always great job this year, running the best league in Va.

Hard fought and good game with the Bootleggers. Congrats to them for putting up a battle. And, THANK YOU Tom, for all you do to run this league, including standing out in the cold until after 11 PM last night (as one small example). Good luck to all teams heading down to States.

Congrats to them for putting up a battle? Did you expect to just blow them out? You sound like an arrogant a$$.

HAHAHA. Sorry you took it that way "seriously?". Not the intention of that at all. We knew it would be a fight and that it was. Good game Boot and glad you QB is OK.

Congratulations Banditos!
