Julie Wilke, now doing other things, looking for a receiver as she sees tacklers closing in. |
The runner is one of my favorite players from Dallas - I can't recall her name - but love the effort here in a losing cause. |
I see the intensity of the battle going on out there. The all out effort as athletes fight for one more yard, one more score.
This is Shadana dragging tackler for a few more yards. |
This is Veronica using all her strength and leverage to protect the runner. |
There's the battle in the line as blockers take on would be tacklers in a battle of strength and will.
There's the bone-jarring collision when the tackler gets a clear shot at the runner
Soho stopping the runner cold. In stop-action, there's the suspense - a collsion with the ground is coming... |
More often there's a scramble to get any kind of grip on the elusive runner in the open field
Griff getting enough of a hold to bring the runner down. |
Open field tackles are tough. |
And then the scene repeated so often on my monitor of Shadana or Monica breaking away from the pack and heading for the end zone.
In stop action close up I see the intensity of the game in a special way. The photos posted here may give you a sense of why I love doing sports photography. Sports because of the dramatic effort of the athletes, photography because I get to see the intensity in a way I think we miss watching the game live.
