p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Some more JV soccer pictures


I tried shooting half a game with my TC and the other half without at the suggestion of someone here. Didn't notice much difference in terms of sharpness so I think where any shots aren't crisp it's probably technique.

Here are a few from my son's last game. I'll try to post some from tomorrow as well. I'm borrowing a friend's Nikon 300 2.8 vr2 for our town's homecoming games tomorrow night. I have mixed feelings about it. I'm very grateful to him for letting me use the lens. On the other hand, there appear to be only 2 potential outcomes

1) the pictures come out great and I feel that I need to buy one
2) the pictures come out more or less like the ones with my current setup in which case I'll have definitive proof that I'm the weak link.

My money is on the latter -- which is probably good as I don't have enough money for the former

As always, C&C welcome

1 -- kid in white scored two goals but caught an elbow to the nose later in the game and ended up with a ER run to get checked out. He's fine -- though they are still trying to get all the blood off the field

2 Another shot where the perfect capture was halfway between this frame and the next where the ball is the same distance away after the header

1, 3 and 4 are your strongest shots, and with all things considered, I think #1 is the best of the bunch. I'd go vertical with the crop on this one and crop tighter. This would better bring the viewer into the action, plus eliminate the distracting fence posts on the right side of the image, as well as the yellow fence post on the left side of the image.

Got to love the artificial fields and the splash of rubber pellets on impact :-) My favourite is #4. Nice set, thanks for sharing.

Guy -- I think that I might have cropped in a little too much on some which is affecting the sharpness

Russ -- thanks. Good suggestion on #1. I'll see if I have enough resolution left to do it

twragg -- I walked across the field yesterday after a football game and realized that down where the goals are during soccer you have so many pellets you can barely see the turf. The fields are brand new this fall -- I don't know if things settle down over time or if they always look like this.
