It was raining really badly in my neck of the woods just before I left home, so I called a friend to see how badly it was raining at the opposite end of town before leaving.Everyone at the stadium really lucked out as the rain stopped about 10 minutes before kickoff.
It was nice that the light actually increased as the evening went on. The storm clouds dissipated and there was a tiny bit of sun for a few minutes. But by the end of the night the ISO was pushing 2500+. I wasn't super pleased with the D300 over 1600 for football, but it was certainly better than my previous D200 and D2H.
The photographers in the last two shots are Marianne Helm & Mike Deal.
