For as many years as I can remember Mark and a bunch of his friends have played touch football on 2nd weekend in November.  The neat thing about it is that the opposing team is made up of Dubuque Police Officers.

So today was the annual game and they play two one hour quarters.  Mark’s team even had some uniforms (well sort of ) this year.  Looked pretty spiffy.  The temperature was 38 degrees with a 9 mph wind so it made for a very cold day.  On top of that it was raining.

Jeanne and I went down and watched for 35 minutes.  We both wimped out after that and so at half time we trucked on home.  Since we only live 500 yards away from the field that wasn’t too long of a walk.

This was the highlight for us at least of what we got to see.  Mark was heavily defended and went up for a pass.  It went through his fingers but as you can see here it was thrown too high for him to have a realistic chance at it.

I had fun shooting the game but I was really cold I used my Tamron 200-500mm lens and the Nikon D700 set at ISO 800.   I switched from RAW to JPG after a few shots because I realized most of the shots were going to be throw aways.

Thanks for checking out my blog.
