In case you wondered what I was doing during my recent hiatus, taking photos at sporting events was high on the list. Baseball, golf and most recently, football. The weather wasn't always this bad. My grandson (#24) was captain of the defense and he made All Conference as a linebacker. This was a High School game and since their wasn't any lightning, they continued to play. I might mention I was roaming the sidelines and was soaked, but my camera stayed dry.
I have to go because its: "13 minutes to Judge Wapner and The People's Court."
I didn't have any trouble getting home because: "I'm an excellent driver."

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
Well, I hope you gave your grandson a ride!! lol. You have always taken great sports photos and this will find a spot in that folder.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I too used to stand right up by the fence ready with my camera. Funny how the weather never bothered me. Now I set in my car and watch from the window, times have changed. Love this action shot though.

You did a superb job on this one, and how the heck did the camera stay dry in that downpour. Your grandson sure has grown up, where has the time gone. tigz=^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
You braving the wet elements yielded a great sports photo, Tick. I too am curious about how you kept the gear dry. I'm still chuckling over the Raymond Babbitt quotes.

Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")
Super shot in the rain done in poor lighting Tick. Your grandson certainly looks tough.

Owd Fella Tick (OFT), I see that your grandchild has become big (applies to my grandsons as well), so he will not melt from that "little" rain, lol.
The weather conditions are very bad here, so I hope you haven't caught a cold, because we aren't getting any younger.
Good action picture, my friend!

Come Rain or Shine, they keep playing - marvelous capture and like the feeling of the down pour. Wonderful detail and colour - you can see he is really listening to the instruction

I've seen plenty of good sports images here on Caedes but they're all pretty much the same except for the occasional human challenge photo. This one, however, is quite unique, illustrating (without a bunch of noise, I might add) one of the real challenges of the game. Good focus, colors, and composition, the pano effect works very well in containing the linear action of a game seen from the sidelines.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Neither rain or snow......well something like that will keep a good photographer........

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Now that's a cool shot. Excellent shot from the sidelines, Tick. I have been soaked at football games before, but had no camera with me...luckily!

The show must go on, it stinks having to play with the grass so wet though.
