Just my $0.02. Your exposure and WB are all over the shop. Try to get them consistent.

By the way, shoot from the players' hip levels. That way you get more of the face than helmets during tackles. Do watch your backgrounds. It's easily noticed that the shots against the red brick wall of the Eagle's gym (if I'm not mistaken) look a LOT cleaner than those facing the stands of the track/field.

i did not spend enough time reviewing the album... i produced it in two night sessions and sent it off for printing (lucky they corrected some of the issues). While looking at the single photos they seemed ok, but once you actually take the time (which i did not ), the differences in exposure and WB become very clear. I forgot as well to take some WB shots during some of the games leaving the right WB to a bit of a guess work...

thank you very much for your comments.

Hi Sehsuan
i used the comic font throughtout the album, but i think it leass visible in small font than in the large letters... a arial font or similar seemed to be too stiff for the kids for whom the album was intended...
yeah, i tried the patriotic thing, most of the kids and parents are from the states and it works well with them....
background is difficult on the field and the action is not always where the good background is. on top you tend to be on the side where your team is located (was coaching them as well) but i agree that the low shots give much better angles but its killing me to squat for the duration of 2-3hours....
thanks very much for the comments

Don't get confused, you're taking photos, coaching, or running at the event? Pick one role, then do it 101%.
