Category: Sports Purpose: To show a goal that has been scored in a game. Meaning: To show a celebration of a goal. Image Content: The focus in this photograph is the four players that are celebrating presumably after a goal had been scored. The players that are wearing red are slightly blurred out which shows that they are not the main focus of the picture, but rather the players in blue. They are not completely blurred however due to them perhaps being slightly important to show what team got scored against. This light is a mix of both natural and artificial as the moon is more than likely emitting light and the stadium is lighting up the players. The picture was taken at a high shutter speed because the subjects in the picture are human and they are constantly moving, especially after a goal in a football game.
