35. An epic fumble for Carson Wentz
Carson Wentz of the Philadelphia Eagles fumbles a snap against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium on Oct. 4, 2020, in Santa Clara, California.
I was only able to shoot a few NFL games this year because the San Francisco 49ers moved to Arizona due to the pandemic. It certainly was strange shooting football in an empty stadium compared to the 60,000-75,000 fans that are usually there. I noticed the sun setting at this game, and I actually wanted to get a really wide shot of the sun going down, but I didn’t have a wide-angle lens on me at the time. So I looked to see what I could do with the 70-200mm lens that I had and I found the sun setting right through an entrance to the stands, and I was able to snap this image of the empty stands as the sun set.
