i realize this photo is hardly worthwhile of any praise based on technical merits. it's blurry, the composition is off, and you don't really know what's going on. well, i'll tell you what's going on. that's my sister in law (in white, #46), and that's her catching a touchdown pass.<br /><br /><b>game recap:</b><br />4th quarter, just over 5 minutes to go. pittsburgh down 13-6. my sister in law catches this touchdown pass to make it 13-12. now, for reasons i have yet to understand, pittsburgh decides to go for the 2 point conversion and thus, the win.<br /><br />first attempt. pittsburgh runs the ball in for the score. oh wait, holding penalty on pittsburgh. move back 10 yards.<br /><br />second attempt. pittsburgh throws to my sister in law in the back corner and she catches for another score. oh wait, offensive pass interference (my photos show otherwise, will be posted later). move back another 10 yards.<br /><br />third attempt. from the 25 yard line, pittsburgh throws short of the endzone and it's incomplete. oh wait, pass interference on cleveland. move forward 10 yards.<br /><br />fourth attempt. pittsburgh throws an incomplete pass in the endzone. oh wait, no penalties.<br /><br />on cleveland's next drive (with just under 5 minutes left), pittsburgh recovers a fumble on cleveland's 40 (estimate). next play, pittsburgh unfortunately throws an interception. cleveland then proceeds to run out the clock. the clock handler proceeds to continue running the clock after first downs, and the first few seconds after a pittsburgh timeout is called.<br /><br />game over. cleveland 13, pittsburgh 12.<br /><br /><b>other notes: </b><br />happy birthday to my mother today (4/24)!<br /><br />if any of you have any sports photography tips, i'd love to know. this was taken with a sigma 55-200mm f/4-5.6 lens.
