Took these yesterday. Was getting quite cold (and coming down from being sick felt even colder), we just lost on a last second field goal, and I was on my way home so I didn't spend as much time as I wanted to getting these shots but I thought they came out pretty good. Comments/suggestions? I didn't lift shadows to much as I liked that nighttime appearance on the building itself and I wanted the stadium lights really shining through. Big stadium jutting out of the surroundings and darkness type of thing. Don't quite like the color on the Paw as it's to yellow but I was struggling to fix it and make it look right in post. Image below this will show truer color.

Really impressed by this little 17-40mm f/4L Canon lens. It's incredibly cheap for L glass, it's a 10 years old model still with no refresh and still holds it's own against some of the most popular 16-35mm lenses that have gone through 3 refreshes. I orginally wanted the 16-35 myself, but got this instead a bit hesitant but now I would definently recommend it.

The Tigers have been tempting fate and got bit.

Love night photography. Nice clean lines in theses shots and the light rays are cool.

Nice. This was an interesting season. My Aggies had it going on until the injury bug bit.

Oregon fell off the map this year.:(
I do like the pic and the color differences in the different spaces

Thanks. It's been a season of heart stopping moments for us, it finally bit us this past weekend. Still in the playoffs though if we can win 3 more games.
