age,

any chance of getting any of the black n white "artsy" photos as a background?

Pretty good chance.

Thanks for some great pictures Age. Helps to recreate it, but makes me wish I was there even more!

What kind of shutter speed (and ISO) did the spotlighted pictures work out to? I think a couple people in the stands with BIC lighters would have given you another half stop to work with. Pretty impressive.

I was shooting 1/60-1/200 at ISO 1600

Awesome photos! Thanks a million for sharing. Wish I could have been there.

the photos are really great age.

Age...your b/w photos remind me of the "old days" just a lot less grain!!! Great stuff. BTW, in the pictures of the players with Mike Teeter where you can Mike's right hand (particularly the one where he is about to hug Jeremy Downs), note the rings. If I'm not mistaken, two of them are NCAA championship rings from 1967 and 1970. Pretty special.

If there's less grain, it's only because of NoiseNinja. I chose to do b/w because with the low light and ISO 1600 it was so grainy and the colors were so bad, it seemed to be the only way. I think they came out ok though.

Hey, I thought they came out GREAT. Really nice feel to them and they absolutely fit the mood of Lynah that evening. Even if you could have pulled off decent color, B/W was a better choice.

The shadow detail and the overall sharpness of your images would have been nearly impossible to pull off with B/W films being pushed to ISO 1600. Just wish we had that kind of technology back in the '60s and '70s. When Art and Adam were editing the images for their book, it was the first time I had looked at a lot of my negatives in over 20 years. The B/W negs are really contrasty with little shadow detail. OK for the newspapers of the day, but it doesn't compare to what can produced digitally today.

Keep at it...really nice stuff.

Wonderful, as always. Are those all young family members in the color section? The one of Downs, especially, is great.

Is Mike Teeter the older gentleman under the scoreboard that all the players give a hug? And if so, who is he? Forgive my ignorance if this should be obvious, but I've never found out.

Mike has been a goal judge, and an equipment manager for the team, at Cornell for a very, very long time. Arthur would probably know better than I, but my impression is that he's been involved with the program for damn near as long as Lynah has stood.
