Marblehead varsity football won 40-7 in the MIAA semifinals over Westfield High School. They now move on to the Superbowl for the Division 3 championship game at Gilette Stadium. I think posting this via my website and embedding the Flickr album will allow scrolling without ads Full Album
As a landscape shooter, I never thought I would love shooting sports as much as I do. I started when my son joined the JV high school football team and have shot all of their games this year. I have also been fortunate to be allowed on the field for 3 of our varsity football games including last night vs Norwood. Marblehead came into the game undefeated and ranked in the top 5 of D3 high schools in the state but Norwood came to play and it was a tough fought match. In the end, the Magician defense and some [...]
In the past few weeks, I have switched gears a bit and become the photographer for the Marblehead High School JV football team. My son is a sophomore and I was fortunate to be granted permission to shoot games from the field. It has been an incredible experience with new challenges compared to my usual landscape work. Last night, I attended the varsity game with camera in hand hoping to get a few shots from behind the chain link fence but was invited on the field unexpectedly and was thrilled to shoot under the Friday night lights (as tough as [...]
The Marblehead varsity football team has their first home game tonight. This is a shot from the first game of 2018 in what would turn out to be a great season. Here's hoping for another strong season this year.
I mentioned in yesterday's post that we had gone out for dinner before attending the first game of the season at Marblehead High School. We arrived in time to catch the first touchdown and then stayed for the entire game and another 7 touchdowns for a final score of 55-0 (one missed extra point). It was a great evening though colder than expected with the feel of autumn in the air. Here is one shot of a running play near the end of the game under Friday night lights at Marblehead High.
One of my favorite Marblehead traditions is the annual Thanksgiving football game pitting Marblehead against Swampscott. I've attended every game with my son since moving here in 2008 and have captured a few photos of the action on the field in years past. As I left the house for the game this year, I made sure to pack the drone as the weather conditions seemed perfect. We arrived and watched the game unfold with Swampscott taking an early lead only to watch as the Marblehead Magicians clawed their way back and then sprinted ahead for good. At half time, I [...]
With conditions for the Marblehead High School football game, I grabbed my drone and headed out to capture an aerial image of Friday Night lights. This was one of many aerial images I had hoped to capture when I purchased the Phantom 4 Pro but had to wait for perfect conditions (as well as an FAA waiver) to allow me to realize it. The Marblehead Magicians were facing off against Gloucester in a home game on a warm fall evening and would go on to win this game and continue their undefeated season. I showed up five minutes before kickoff [...]
Though I took this photo of a tree displaying Fall foliage in October 2012, it seemed only appropriate to share it with the upcoming Marblehead football game against Falmouth for the Division 2A championship. When I visited Gatchell park to shoot the lone tree displaying its foliage, I hadn't expected to find the tackle dummies in a perfect position and with complementary colors to make for a stronger shot. With those jerseys on display, this quickly became an easily recognizable Marblehead football image and I figured I would share it today in case some in town did not know about [...]
What an incredible game! I found a spot along the far goalpost and set up with my longest lens. Was very fortunate to catch two of Marblehead's scores including a great run by Will Quigley. Awesome game boys!
