petereoin Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Football My first time shooting football # 1 # 2 # 3 # 4 # 5 # 6 Thanks for looking Jun 28, 2009 at 06:45 PM

Jonathan Knight Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · Football Oh, you mean soccer! =) (sorry, I couldn't resist) Great action, expressions, background, sharpness, clarity. Maybe a touch of a tighter crop on #1(?) and cut the feet off in a few. Jun 29, 2009 at 12:53 AM

petereoin Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · Football Hi Jonathan, Steve; Thanks for looking and your comments. The last three photos the players were right on top of me and I was unable to switch to my 70-200 from the 300., thought it would be best to cut off a bit of their feet instead of their heads Jun 29, 2009 at 08:40 AM

Overall, great shots. Jun 29, 2009 at 03:00 PM

joe_boyd Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · Football It's probably better (more widely accepted?) to go with a tighter crop vs. cutting off feet and hands at the wrists and ankles respectively. In other words, if you can't capture the entire body (all appendages), tighten the crop to the head, torso, upper arms, legs to concentrate on the expressions and body form. Choose the entire body, or a tight crop. Just a guideline, not a rule. It would seem like it might work in 4 and 5 #6 would would be the hardest to work out, because the ball really focuses the concetration of the players. If you had all of the ball, you'd have all of their feet. Cropping to just their heads, torsos, and arms looses the object of their battle (the ball). Like cutting off the feet and hands, cutting off the ball takes away from the impact of the image. Great shots for the first time out. Jun 29, 2009 at 03:21 PM

Like cutting off the feet and hands, cutting off the ball takes away from the impact of the image. Great shots for the first time out. Totally agree. I don't shoot soccer much, so I sort of figured having the feet (what controls the ball) is more important than having the ball and no feet. (like shooting a basketball photo with a head and a basketball but no arms...just seems weird) But again, as for the first part I totally agree. If I cut something off, I go tighter. In fact, I am usually intentionally cutting off feet and things to go super tight on my (American) football photos and basketball photos. Feet and knees don't typically tell stories. Faces do.
