p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · SOCCER: Indy triumphs over #1 Minnesota NASL


Wow, what a night. We change the tempo of the match with a score in the 8th minute and in the first 30 seconds of the 2nd half. With tremendous effort by all and especially GK Kristian Nicht (24) Indy wins their 1st long over due home game in front of yet another sell out crowd.

My assignment last night was to get Kristian in action. See the last five below. Rest of the game is on the website. Specific assignments can narrow your focus but when shooting for 'the man' that's what you do. Regardless, there were a few opportunities to capture the story. C&C quite welcome!

Matt





1. The Supervisor!







2. Foul in progress on JJ - he exited with a hurting shoulder







3. Goal #2 by Jhulliam(88)







4. Brickyard Battalion celebrating the score







5. Rugg(99) wining over Daley(17)

Very nice work. Is that the mascot in the first shot?

Actually Zeke is the mascot. Our buddy here was brought in just to "supervise"
Well trained dog, responds to hand queues.

This is Zeke:

And a beautiful win it was too.

I like them all Matt, but I think my favorite is the one of the Minnesota GK on the ground and the ball in the back of the net.

Seriously, my two favorites are the one with Miller, Norales and Nitch, although I wish we could see Kristian's face, and number nine with Kristian stretched out reaching for the ball.

Thanks Don. It's always tough to get good GK action shots during a match. Kristian was very busy and that kept me busy

Great shots Matt! Thanks for posting. 2, 6 & 8 are favorites. I like the crowd and the smoke grenades, but have been told taking those shots is fine, just don't ever send them up to your wire service.

these are very nice although I could live w/ alot slower SS-s to lower some of those iso-s

My D4 is also very good at 10k but I still try to avoid it

Randy,

True enough, slower SS's do work and depending on specific action, would make a significant difference in the level of ISO required. That said, with athletes at this level of competition, where a ball strike is involved, I've found that even 1/1000 produces definite blur around the foot and ball area. Not a bad thing but it depends on what it will be used for. The difficulty in continually making on the fly adjustments when shooting soccer (due to the game's speed & variableness) is why I usually settle in on 1/1250. Like your D4, the 1DX's Hi-ISO capability is very good, and cleans up nicely. Since I shoot for the team, these settings have produced more of what they are looking for.

At the end of the day, 'when you shoot for the man...'

Thanks for dropping by!

Matt

ahh... clients with pre-conceived biases are tough to deal with. Sorry to hear a couple of yours seem to be stuck there. Quite unfortunate as your equipment is very capable of providing great high-ISO images that will clean up nicely. For me, the Eleven's multi-media coordinator does have a thing for noise/grain but has been quite pleased with my images in both detail and clarity. Even in large poster prints for game day souvenirs they stand up.

Here's hoping yours will soon see the light
