Sunday was a day for me to dust off my NFL shooting skills. Usually I get over to the Green Bay Packers training camp a number of times over the summer and shoot a few preseason games. My schedule this summer only allowed me to get to one preseason game and I never made it over to practice. I was worried I would be a little rusty, but I was happy with the photos I got of the Green Bay Packers defeating the Washington Redskins 38-20 in their NFL football game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin on September 15, 2013. I also got lucky that a number of key plays happened right in front of me. As usual I started my game day outside the stadium capturing fan tailgating. It can be tough to find unique parking lot features, but even if you shoot it ever year, you have to take pictures of a bull dog wearing a mini cheese head and a Packers jersey. My last shot was my favorite of the day. As quarterback Aaron Rodgers ran off the field and down the tunnel he stopped and tossed his game towel to a group of fans.
Thanks for looking!
