Nebraska Football (Brody)

          This Nebraska photograph shows the famous entrance of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. This picture was taken by Eric Francis. I really like this photo because it focuses on the players (Jordan Westercamp and Tommy Armstrong Jr.) and I feel a sense of excitement with the players running and the fireworks in the sky. This level of excitement would not have been portrayed had this been a day game. You would see more of the fans, making the players out of focus. You would not see the fireworks light up the sky in a day game as you would during a night game. 

          The photo has many different technical aspects. First the shutter speed must be fast enough to catch the players running in the image. Also, if this had a slow shutter speed the firework would be blurry. As I touched on earlier, the picture seems to be focused on the players and hype of the night game. That really shows off with the darkness. It has that feel like the stadium has an unlimited capacity. I like the contrast in colors with the grass being green, then there is white in the middle, and red on the top of the photo. Had this been a team with cool or dark colors this photo would not have had a good contrast.
