My Manning Shot

Last season while shooting the Steelers, I got the opportunity to cover the Colts more than one time. When a photographer is covering the home team of their newspaper...lets say the Steelers...they shoot in the direction the Steelers are driving. So in turn you end up with a ton of shots like this of the opposing teams offense. The goal is to get the Steelers defense running toward you...because in photojournalism, backs of head are bad. So in honor of the Superbowl today this is my shot of Peyton Manning (and a small sports photography lesson).Manning handing the ball off to Joseph Addai.
