The benefit of covering road games within the division is being familiar with the surroundings. It helps knowing the location of the visitors' locker room is, the kind of lighting, and if there are textures or wall colors that could be used in certain compositions. At U.S. Bank Stadium there are a couple of overhead lights, right inside the tunnel, which act almost like spotlights. Right away I knew that I wanted to try to use those lights to highlight the players as they made their way back to the locker room. I've been trying to perfect that composition every time we visit the Vikings' stadium. This year I was successful. I captured a nice, clean image of Adrian Amos as he walked through the light. I love how the light just hits enough of his face and body, adding a nice dramatic factor to the image. You better believe that the next time we play in Minnesota I'll be looking to use those lights again. This image was shot with an 85mm lens (ISO = 640, Aperture = f1.2, Shutter = 1/5000th).
