Playing in the Band


Well football is in full swing so that's what I've been shooting. I saw this shot while wandering around the field before the start of Arkansas' game against Utah State. I like to walk around with just a wide angle lense before the game to try to find features. But when I saw this scene I knew I needed a telephoto to get the right compression with the fans in the background. So I sprinted back to my gear to grab the 70-200 and luckily this guy was still standing in the same spot. I had to shoot through a group of about 6 other band members, but they finally moved around enough for me to fire off about three shots before the gap closed. I was also glad to get a good facial expression from the guy to add another element.
