Friday night at Minisink High School was one of those nights that most photographers hate – a mix of rain, mist and fog all night long!
I had to arrive at the field a little early as it was Senior Night for Minisink Valley Varsity Football. This night is special for the Seniors because it is the last time that they are going to play on their home turf before graduating. To commemorate the event, each Senior is joined by their parents on the field so we can take a picture of them together. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t make this task easy!
Even though I arrived early, the rain decided to move in just as I was getting ready to take my first shots. By the time I was done, it looked like I had dipped my camera in a bath tub! Thankfully, the Mark III can handle it!
Once I was done, practice got underway and the rain finally stopped and left behind a light mist. By this time, the field was already a mud puddle and the entire team was covered in it – yet they hadn’t even played a single down!
Once the game got underway, Minisink took an early lead with three back-to-back touchdowns and held onto the lead to finish the game against Kingston 52 to 32!
