Weekly Photo Challenge No. 26 - Time

[preeb]

Maybe a touch late, but here are a couple of moments in time, captured during our school's playoff game yesterday.  They are undefeated at 10-0 so far, through the regular season and two rounds in to the playoffs.

First one I call The Catch:




The second one is titled The Fumble (they got the ball back two plays later with an interception):

Rick, not late, according to (Colorado) Mountain time.

Really nice interpretation of this theme and one with a successful story to go with it. Great capture of football action!

10-0 undefeated? Way to go!

Tony what did you use to create your gif.....superb results!!!!

Helen:  I did the Animated GIF in Photoshop but it could also be done in Elements.  I put the 29 pics I got as the building imploded on separate layers and then used Save for Web to create the animated GIF.  I did do an auto align of the layers as the camera moved slightly.  That would need an action in Elements to do it but should work the same way and I was really surprised how well it worked.  It ignored the moving bits and kept the transmission tower in the same place.  Photoshop does have some other features that I discovered - the second thumbnail in the SmugMug gallery I posted is now an MP4 video created from the same 29 frames but I copied the frames to the end of the sequence and then reversed them so the power station comes down and then goes up again.  I had never played with video before but it turned out to be quite simple to do.  Maybe Premiere Elements would do that but I've never owned a copy.

Thanks Sepiana! There's not much time left, so I'll go with a fast(ish) shutter speed.

Bill,

What a great idea for this theme (and great capture too)! I really like it.  Well done!
