NFL - Texans vs Falcons - 12.04.11
 

Here are a few shots from Sunday's NFL game at Reliant Stadium in Houston, TX. The sky was very overcast, the roof was closed and even with the stadium lights, I felt the need to shoot at ISO 3200 & 4000. It was almost like shooting a night game. I was afraid that shooting at such high ISO was going to make my shots unusually noisy but fortunately I was able to edit the images to get some fairly desirable results.

Considering the photos are used online at about 600 pixels these were just fine.
