Capped off my busy weekend with a soccer game between Landon Donovan, David Beckham, the LA Galaxy and the Colorado Rapids. Figured out my focusing issues midway through the first half.
6. One of Beck's corners. This one would be headed by a player, not sure who, right at me. As I spun from shooting this shot, to see either if I could grab the shot on goal or jube shot, I instead saw the ball coming right at me. http://carlauerphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/T9S0117.jpg
Game would end in a 1-1 tie.
All shots with the 7D and 120-300 2.8 except for pre game shots of Beckham and Donovan and Beckham's Corner. Those were the 1D MkII and 70-200 2.8.
I have to say, you have some great photos here (what else would one expect?). I have seen some Sigma 120-300s where they are a bit soft, but these are tack sharp (same with the football).
Hey Carl... good to see another post from you. Loving #4 and #5.
Hey does that guy in #2 come by to massage your calves during the game action? I don't see Beckham hunching down with a 400/f2.8 for 2+ hours trying to get a low angle on the shot!
I would have loved a massage during the second half, but a woman from the Denver Post was hand holding a 200-400 and probably would have got the massage over me with my 120-300 2.8.
