Re: Spring Soccer - GU15


Good start for a first post there. The 300 2.8 is a good lens and takes the 1.4TC quite well. As you get more comfortable with it the sharpness will be apparent. From strictly a sports perspective a couple of comments:
1 - Pretty good, action is not really peak
2 - Watch your horizons, action somewhat cluttered
3 - try going vertical and crop tight on the player with the ball
4 - half ball missing, mostly likely was captured too late, chopped off body parts
5 - what I call no-man\'s land, cropping vertical with only the players on the right would be stronger but you probably end up with a hand in the frame (maybe PP it out is possible)
6 - late capture, action / ball too far away, try again BTW: background not so good here....
7 - like this one too, suggest loosing the negative space on both sides by cropping vertical. IMHO doing so makes it a stronger photo.

Standard stuff to keep in mind: you want balls, faces, action with a clean background (when possible). You might want to try positioning yourself on the back line half way between the corner flag and the goal. Then wait for the action to come to you.

The more you shoot the better it gets. Keep posting!

Matt

7 - like this one, is there more room at the bottom (body parts chopped off)? If so go vertical and fill the frame with the players
8 - like this one too, suggest loosing the negative space on both sides by cropping vertical. IMHO doing so makes it a stronger photo.
