Where are all the Monday Night Football Texan photos?

Not one single photo posted from the Monday night game...

Troy? Bob? Diana? Kar?

It was the Speed Slaton show Monday night. Here is his 40 yard TD.

Texas Football magazine was denied credentials this time so I didn't get to go.

Don't know. I don't do the requesting. Magazines seem to be the last on the list though to get them. I was just forwarded the form e-mail from the Texans saying they were denied.

Try being a "web-based" production :). They are even lower on the totem pole than magazines, and there are some leagues that flat out what even consider web-based productions no matter how good the quality is or how professional the site is.

We were however credentialed for a Texans pre-season game a few years ago :).

I think I'll just start "Bob's Newspaper" and I'll probably get in.

First "Monday Night Football" game of the Texans history . . . it will get easier next time.

Very few extra credentials were given out it looked like since it was an ESPN MNF production...there were 2 mobile camera platforms plus tons of handhelds from both MNF and NFL Films not to mention sound guys and tons of cable pullers..

I know the sports purists won't like this, but here's a couple of different takes on the game. I like to try something different once in awhile. These and the regular ol shots are in a gallery here.

Battle Red Day. I thought Super Mario would look better as a comic book hero. But since I don't know how to do that effect and didn't have time to look it up, this one will have to do:



My first attempt at a tilt shift/selective focus effect. I need to try this with an actual tilt shift. Probably would have looked better from a higher angle, but I like this too:

Troy how did you accomplish that last photo? That is really cool. Looks like little minature figures on a sculpture or something. Very nice!

Thanks Jason. Mostly, I did a quick mask then selected a gradient tool to draw a line selecting the focus area. Then I applied a lens blur. If you do a Google search on tilt shift effect, I'm sure you can find much better instructions and better methods than this.

Troy - You have some great shots in your Smugmug gallery. I especially love all the detail shots of the camera equipment. You did a kick a$$ job!

The bottom on looks like one of those vibrating table football games!
