Each year we shoot spring sports previews, we run into weather-related issues. Freezing temps, snow, rain, you name it. Knock on wood, we’ve lucked out so far this spring. The last two days have been drizzly, but it didn’t hold these guys back from getting a practice in.
This week’s football game was by far the wettest I’ve shot. The downpour began sometime mid-afternoon and didn’t let up until after halftime. The few brief dry periods in the second half didn’t matter much since I and everything I brought with me were completely soaked.
As an aside, if you’re a photographer looking to buy rain gear, don’t buy Tenba. Anything heavier than a slight drizzle, and you’re gear is soaked. I hope ThinkTank will soon come out with something that fits lenses shorter than 400mm.
As far as the game went, it was a blowout. In the first meeting of Worthington Kilbourne and Thomas Worthington, Kilbourne came out on top 43-3. As expected, considering the conditions, it was a very sloppy game.
