The Photographic Side of NCAA Football 11

If you have never been to this thread before, come on in and prepare your eyes for some of the best images ever taken from a video game.

If you been here a while... you know the deal:
Great images. Great passion. Great community.

I started this thread with the hopes of seeing a couple of really good images... Instead I was treat to droves of them. Some of which have been spectacular.

This thread was never meant to be about the play or highlight itself. It was always intended to be about one thing.. the photos themselves.

Because of the obvious interest shown in this field, I decided to open up some Contests. They will be run every few days and will always include a specific topic.

DONT LET THE CONTESTS STOP YOU FROM CONTINUING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS THREAD!

In order not to spam the forums, I decided to host the Contests on my OS Blog (link below). However final voting will take place in normal forum thread. Full info can be found on my OS Blog. I will try to update this this post with links to results and current contests.

SPORTS GAMING PHOTOGRAPHY CONTESTS

• CONTEST #1 - Best Use of Background

Here are my original images, resized to fit properly and minus the rounded corners...

Yeah, I always wanted to be a sports photographer.. this is kinda, sorta, almost close to that.

FYI - All my initial images were "staged" for my Online Dynasty article...

It's actually pretty fun to set up "photo shoots".. I often do it when I am messing around and dont have the time for a full game.

Re: The Photographic Side of NCCAA11

Great shot. I love these "celebration" shots... I always struggle with the best angle to use to showcase the player while still feeling "real". Nice job finding the balance.

LOVE the field of depth here... have you noticed that so of the FoD is "softened" when you upload it to the servers?

I like the change-up here. Usually these shots focus on the QB. Way to mix it up.

Always love to see the backgrounds in pics. That tower looks imposing with the overcast sky. Nice pose too.

Nice snow shot... not so sure about the different colored sleeves though...lol.
