there is obviously some sort of post-editing process here, you cannot see any bluring of the light, yet the shutter speed needed to take such a photograph would have to be really low, thus causing a blurring of the players as they are moving, and to capture such movement you need a shutter speed of like 1000 and up. unless they used some sort of technology that only captures one kind of light source, which is impossible, then these are definately photoshoped, i could probably do it easily, not that hard when you think about it.
These are professionals right? Don't they have options or whatever on their cameras to dull the lighting or something? That could be it. Tight pictures though, those are sweet.

I was gonna say, it was either they photoshopped it. Which seems unlikely with professional photos. Or they increased the aperture. That's assuming that the players were the lightest thing in the picture. But it's been 2 years since I've taken advanced photo so my mind's a little fuzzy on the subject.
Hey welcome to the forums KG5. and I agree those photos are sick. they'd make a great poster or wallpaper IMO.
