Harrisonburg High School quarterback Jake Johnson is caught from behind during first quarter of the Region III, Division 4 championship game in Amherst Friday night.
First of all it was COLD and WINDY. And it was DARK. This was the first football game where we tested the ability of the NIKON D700 in low light. Of course we have played around with it, but this was the first live shoot where we shot at ISO 6400. I have to say, it is not bad for what it is especially without any noise reduction.
