Through the Lens: Capturing the Packers via tough angles, tunnels, lights and colors

[Cheesehead]

First, anytime I come away with a diving catch or play I'm very happy. It's rare to come away from a game with an image like this, but I wish the action were a little closer to my shooting position. I find that the compression isn't quite right and the background is a little distracting. I always say that being a good sports photographer is about preparation, anticipation, great timing and having a little luck on your side. Hopefully, with a little more luck, I get another attempt like this next season…preferably on my side of the field. This image was shot with a 400mm lens (ISO = 500, Aperture = 2.8, Shutter = 1/4000th).
