Football: Florida vs. Alabama (SEC Championship Game)

Saturday night I shot the SEC Championship game between the Florida Gators and the Alabama Crimson Tide at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta for the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer.

I think it went pretty well despite being pretty tired from volunteering at the Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar, but luckily I’ve had plenty of experience shooting games tired lately so all things considered I think it went pretty well.

    #1 in your pictures is actually Chris Rogers and not BJ Scott. They both share the #1 so it is an easy mistake. However, you have 4 pics featuring Chris so I figured you and your viewers should know. RTR!

    Some of the pictures marked as BJ Scott are actually of Chris Rogers.

    What kind of camera did you shoot these with?

  14. […] Share   Apparently they didn't want to show any of our players doing it…which is fine as long as the Gators saw it….b/c here is some pics someone posted earlier and you can see Huber(towards the bottom) doing it and he isn't on the sideline it is hard to tell where he is but he is on the field somewhere….

    would have been nice to have a picture of Tebow crying.

    Official NCAA football – $20
    Cost of trasportation per player to the Georgia Dome – $40
    Making Superman cry like a baby – Priceless!

    Josh, great pictures man, but how did you get all of those Gator fans in the 42nd frame to look so sad?
    Especially the older ladie mid-frame to center, she was a good pose.
    Man, you ARE really GOOD!!!!!

      I agree about the picture of Tebow. Real men cry. Tebow was expressing diappointment just like Mark Ingram was expressing joy.
