Paul's Sports Photography

A few more pictures from the Seahawks vs. Packers MNF game. The rest that I'm sharing (in their current, batched-processed, therefore lesser-quality, state) can be found on my photography site. All but the first one were taken with my 'new' Tokina 80-200 f/2.8 ATX SD manual-focus lens. I'm pretty darned impressed with this Tokina, even on the bleagh Tamron 2x teleconverter that I used. The top one was shot with the venerable 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 AF-S ED G D70 kit lens, and it's a great lens, too.

Thanks to my brother-in-law, who scored some free tickets, I had the most fun I've ever had at a football game last night. Monday Night Football at QWEST Field in the snow. Aaaah yes. It doesn't get much better than that, save for a better performance from the Hawks' offense in the first half. The commute home, however, left much, much to be desired...

Seeing this backfield reunited, too, was very, very nice:


I wasn't much for these folks, however, especially since I was sitting in a sea of 'em:



I'll add more pix later today...

Noon Edit to add more pix:

Hasselbeck is roughed up:



"Is that a penalty flag in your ass, Pork Chop, or are you just happy to see me?"
