Lighting is a major part of photography. During my commercial photography or advertising photography photo shoots I have a truck full of lights and light modifiers to create the light I want, but in sports photography for the most part you have to deal with the light that’s given to you. On Sunday during the Green Bay Packers vs Tennessee Titans the lighting gods shined down on my end zone. When Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers took the ball in the red zone and ran it in for a touchdown it was amazing light. Okay maybe my editor and I were the only ones that saw it that way. The fans just saw it as a great play by a great quarterback, but to the photographers looking at my blog look at that light on that series of pictures. Crazy light accomplished by low late December light bouncing off the glass of the luxury boxes back on to the field.
Okay enough talk about the light. Here are some of my favorite photos from a blow out win by the Packers. Plenty of action on my end of the field. The Packers won’t find out till after the final week of the season if they will host a game in the wild card round or the divisional round. I just hope that whenever the game is we either have amazing light like this again or a blizzard like we had a week ago. I’ve shot enough games in boring flat overcast light.
Happy holidays to everyone and thanks for looking!
Mike
