Yeah, baby!

I just watched the video TSL posted to YouTube, and some of the first words out of Moorehead was how excited he was to have Mallock and Hodges helping out at TE. Becky is still listed as 3ed string, but I've got to figure he is going to get some real playing time. They keep talking about how much further along they are this spring. I hope that translates to more offensive creativity. I would love to see more 2 TE sets.

Thanks Andy. Love the images. Not sure if you were just saying this but...
Now, getting shots of people in motion is much harder.
quick fix, just increase the ISO to the highest level. Shutter speed will increase and you should be able to get some shots of players in motion. If overexposure is an issue then can get a hood for your lens, depending on what camera you have.

I'm not sure how well versed you are in camera settings, but here is what I would do to start out.
Set the camera to Shutter priority ('Tv' or 'S' on the settings wheel, depending on the camera brand).
Set your shutter to the fastest shutter setting, the camera will auto-adjust the ISO and Aperture based on your shutter.
If you see a blinking light in the viewfinder, it means that either ISO or Aperture it needs to create a good shot is outside of the range of the camera. Reduce the shutter speed a step until you find a setting where it can focus and give you valid ISO and Aperture readings.
If you are shooting outside, you should be able to shoot pretty fast without much difficulty.
This is a quick and dirty, but once you get the hang of it, you can get go into manual mode and adjust all of the setting to create the shots you need.

yep, I'm down with all this. Do architectural photography on the side as a hobby.
As I said, mine's just a quick fix. I will say that often allowing the camera to auto adjust ISO & Aperture produces less desirable results than setting it to manual exposure and dictating how the camera operates.

Manual settings will always trump, but when starting out, using the priority modes will help in understanding the camera settings until you get comfortable in setting them manually. Basically, you can see how the camera will adjust the settings based on your priority setting. Then you can experiment from there.
In these instances, I find that aperture priority is better for candids, portraits, anything where you are focusing on one object. Shutter priority when you want to shoot motion.
I think you may also be able to control iso in addition to shooting in a priority mode. Either way, it will be better than sitting in automatic.

Interesting quote -

Yeah, baby!
I also thought Moorehead's comments on Parker were encouraging. Excited to see what AMO can do with him.
AB enjoy the multimedia - especially the videos! - MORE PLEASE!
GO HOKIES!
WE'RE BRINGING BACK THE WILD TURKEY!

you talking to me or Andy?

No, to Andy.

yeah, this is pretty much how I learned.
good stuff +1
Some video from tonight's practice, with a few interviews ...

Great stuff! GO HOKIES!
This is exactly how I feel during the offseason...
Great work, Andy!
