Catskill vs. Chatham

The game barely got under way before the skies opened up and the delay meant it finished in darkness. But somewhere in the middle was the Chatham boys varsity soccer teaming hosting Catskill for the second game of the season.

This game ended up a lot like the previous game unfortunately. Chatham suffered its second straight blow out loss. But they kept working hard and didn’t let it get them down.

I was still shooting with my old Sony A7s and the old manual 500mm mirror lens. It’s kind of a brute force approach to sports photography. Lots of reach but a real lack of fine tuning or niceties like fast autofocus. But I’ve been doing it for a few years now and make it work. There aren’t many shots from the end of the game. The light was almost completely gone thanks to the rain delay.
