Sorry this post is a bit late but I had a few power problems, which most of you can probably relate to. Also a few large tree problems. It was a great homecoming. The football team won and the halftime performance was great. The stands were packed and everyone seemed to be having a good time. The lighting proved to be a bit of a challenge but that’s to be expected...
Learn MoreCongratulations to the varsity football team on their win over Central Islip. Great game, guys. I brought along a 20mm prime lens for this game. Not too useful for football, except for the team running onto the field, but I used it for the half-time shots of the marching band and kick line and the cheerleaders. Makes for an interesting perspective, but you need to be...
Learn MoreNot a great day for me or the Commack football team. Although I managed to pull out some decent shots of the more mundane action I was in the wrong place at the wrong time for a lot of critical plays. Some days are like that.

The downside is you can’t shoot toward the stands because the sun is shining...
Learn MoreThis was “one of those days” for both the Commack football team and me. Things just didn’t go our way. I came back with only 50 decent photos, and a lot of those were of the marching band, kick line, and cheerleaders. And it wasn’t that I was shooting badly; I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time for a lot of the shots. Hey, it happens....
Learn MoreThese are the rest of the Commack Homecoming photos, including the football game with Sachem East and the halftime events. If you’re looking for the pre-game events they’re in the previous post. Last week I wrote a post about how I love to photograph on overcast days because of the soft light and low contrast. I’m starting to regret that because we...
