That's all folks. After a combined 21 high school and NFL games, football in Colorado is officially over for me until August.
Although I wish I had the opportunity to shoot the playoffs, I really can't complain.
Pro Bowl bound quarterback Philip Rivers came to town so I wanted to focus on him and make a variety of images. Since neither team was in playoff contention I took a few risks. Some of them payed off, some didn't.
I went up to the fifth level of the stadium like last week but this time I chose to shoot the backlit side of the field. Invesco has some great light in the winter and creates a few nice pockets of light to work with. It worked out when Rivers launched a pass in the first quarter in a spot where only the top half of his body and the ball were illuminated by the sunlight, leaving the turf to fall to nearly black.
The second half was relatively lackluster until the Broncos scored two late touchdowns and recovered an onside kick with under a minute to play. Tebow heaved back-to-back 60-yard hail mary attempts but both fell short.
I guess we'll have to wait for him to become a hero next year.
