Pixtus - Photography Forum, Photographers, Photo Tips

Tom · 02:39 PM

I really felt like I was tearing it up yesterday. Sucks to have it be on a day where we ran out of time.

You can see the rest of my pics on my new Facebook fan page or if you are interested in seeing a little more photography mumbo jumbo, check it out on my photography blog: Aggie Photographer.

My blog also has more of the technical stuff like what camera and lenses I used, etc.

1.
Clayton Williams, Jr. rode in with the Calvary.

2.
Welcome to Kyle Field, bitches.

3.
If I wasn't chained to this wagon, I would kick the **** out of you, fat boy.

4.
He looked the most Corpsy of all the Corps boys I shot.

5.

6.
Bowtie+PMC

7.
Tanne

8.
Gonna be one of those days.

9.
How old is Okie State's QB? 35? Is he related to Simon Pegg?

10.
Before the game, I decided to get something a little different. So I climbed my fat ass up the stairs to the top of the jumbotron. There is no elevator there. Add in a couple cameras and a few lenses. Basically, Discovery could do a reality show on it. It would be like my own "Jumbotron: Beyond the Limit." The air gets thin. It gets cold. It gets loud.
Looking straight down:

11.
BQs leading the team onto the field:

12.
This looks really awesome blown up. You will have to trust me on that. Here it is 700 pixels wide. Aggie band.

13.
Kyle field with the widest non-fisheye lens on a full frame camera(14mm 2.8 on a Canon 5D Mark II)

14.
After Tanne's touchdown, the kickoff:

15.
Terrence Frederick breaking up the pass. Generally, I want to see faces in every pic, but this is strong enough not to have it. It isn't going to be in SI, but it works.

16.
Frederick's celebration

17.
So if A&M leaves the Big 12, then the Oklahomas and Texas will leave. And with all the good schools gone, the Big 12 will fold. If I am the Baylor of Big 12 refs, no one will want me and I will get stuck in some ****ty conference and not get sweet extra gigs reffing bowl games. Also, **** the Aggies.

18.
Love the background. Hate the foreground.

19.
Wait. What?

20.
Moore is like a shark looming in the distance

21.
Harris as a cat ready to pounce. I'm into Discovery Channel shows right now.

22.
Rhontae Scales is like a hippo ready to eat.

23.
Blackmon is a stud, so I spent a lot of time shooting him.

24.
Sean Porter

25.
I may print this. I will probably make it square and crop out the idiot in full body paint and ridiculous hat. If I was on the third deck and behind him, pretty sure that hat would have flown off the top of the third deck.

26.

27.
Dude wants Christine Michael to score. Normally I would crop him out and make this vertical, but I like the cheering dude.

28.
Almost Heisman

29.
Dude is still there.

30.
Touchdown!

31

32.
His arms are unreal.

33.
Special teams tackle inside the 10

34.
The refs reviewed this picture and then gave Sean Porter a 15 yard penalty for indisputable proof that he punched Simon Pegg's brother in the head.

35.

36.
Break a tackle and I am set.

37.
Done, home free.

38.
Oh ****, not that way.

39.
Or that way

40.
This isn't a panorama, I just cropped the bottom off a pic.

41.
I'm fairly certain that Blackmon was wishing Moore well and making sure he wasn't hurt bad and not talking trash to an injured player that is grabbing his knee.

42.
Wanna block Jerod-Edie? Better triple team.

43.
As I edited this, I wanted to find a PCish way to make fun of their high five.

44.
Standard faceoff pic.

45.
Post interception.

46.
I shot this of their DLinemen thinking that it would make a solid "we lost" shot. Oh well.

47.
Blackmon up and under.

48.
I did not photoshop this fist into the picture.

49.
Really like this of Harris.

50.
****.

51.
He has no clue what is about to happen.

52.
No clue.

53.
Damn

54.
There is a glitch in the matrix.

55.
Touchdown, Okie State.

56.
Fumble out of the endzone. The photographer is Andy Hancock, A&M Class of 02 from Sports Illustrated. He is the guy that took the 12th Man pic that was in Sports Illustrated after Nebraska last year.

57.
Unsportsmanlike conduct, 15 yards for acting like a goalpost.

58.
Fairly certain this TE just shat himself.

59.
That's Demontre Moore about to wrap up.

60.
No pass interference. He was just playing the ball through Fuller after holding Fuller's left arm.

61.

62.
Touchdown Fuller

63.
Wanna know why CJ Jones was pissed? ****er stuck his helmet into his chin when they were both running at full speed.

64.
12th Man.

65.
This shot of the Corps looks really awesome blown up as well.

So that's about half the pics. Check out the rest on my fan page.
