Halftime

Halftime

Taken during halftime.  It was a pretty bright, middle of the afternoon, day.  Not the best situation for lighting.  That time of day always creates harsh shadows.  Not to mention tires the photographer out pretty quickly.  But, that time of day can also create dramatic lighting.  I knew when I took this photo - I was shooting somewhat into the sun - that I would be able to get some pretty dramatic lighting after I got it loaded into my computer and had a chance to play a little bit.  I have always loved photos with a little more contrast.
