I was in East Brewton last night to shoot the game between W. S. Neal and Thomasville. The game ended up 23-14 in favor of Thomasville which is currently ranked No. 9 in Class 4A. It was a pretty good game, especially in the second half when Neal really came alive and made some big plays. The two scoring plays by Neal were a kickoff return, in which Nate Sheffield lateraled the ball to Jeremy Nicholson and he went the distance, and a pass from Taylor Cash to Nicholson. Getting beyond those two big plays, it was really a team effort with a lot of good hustle by everyone on the field and Neal had a chance to turn this one around until the very end.
If you happened to read my post about last weeks game in Andalusia, this is a good example of the difference in the quality of stadium lights when doing photography. The images in this sequence (Nicholson's run after the catch for a touchdown) were shot on the same play in burst mode, without flash. The lights at W. S. Neal are some of the best to be found in a high school stadium anywhere. That's all I'm going to say about my technique, after all Michangelo didn't write a book about how he created art. If he did it, would be selling on the markdown table at Barnes and Nobles for $4.95, because everyone would be creating artwork like him.
It's getting close to time for the Auburn-LSU game, so I have to go. This should really be a barn burner, no wait, we've already done that in 1996.
