October 13, 2009; Harvard vs. Chicagoland Jewish I covered the an IHSA regional quarterfinal soccer game between Harvard and Chicagoland Jewish for the Northwest Herald Tuesday night.
It has been a few years since I have covered a soccer game but shooting sports for me is like riding a bike. The challenges lie more in lighting, weather and finding a close WiFi hot spot.
Lighting at many high school fields leaves something to be desired and this field did not disappoint. The first half hour of most night games, before daylight savings time, is crucial because there is still a hint of ambient light to work with. After the sun set my exposures at this field varied from frame to frame about 2-3 stops and the color shifted between frames as well.
The weather was cold and windy but dry so that was good. As far as WiFi, I should have done a little more homework to find a hot spot but I had enough time to drive home and send from there.
Harvard handled the game and advanced to the next round with 6-0 win.
Here are three from the game.
