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...

Congratulations to the varsity football team on their win over Central Islip. Great game, guys. I brought along a 20mm prime lens for this game.

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....

These 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...
