Seahawks: Smoke and Fire in the Pregame Tunnel.

(Nikon D3, Nikkor VR 24-70mm/f2.8 zoom lens @ 70mm, ISO 1600, 1/1000th sec., f2.8)

One of the many great things about working behind-the-scenes for the Seattle Seahawks is the private moments I get to witness. Here, Seahawks safety Lawyer Milloy exhales on a cold Seattle day before leaving the tunnel during pregame introductions to the roar of 60,000 fans at Qwest Field. His eyes are on fire with concentration and he is at this point of the day clearly focused on the job at hand. The light is dramatic which always helps — backlight and sidelight are bouncing around, highlighting his breath, and there’s just a touch of daylight to let us see his eyes.
