Here are a few recent shots I don’t try or get every time out;

Used manual focus to shoot through the side of the net. (2500 ISO)
1)


The very rare “head on ball, eyes open” shot.
2)


And finally two laid out catches in the same game.(3200 ISO)
3)

4)

Really like #2 especially, it is indeed VERY rare to get that shot. Good timing on the others too. I do find the net distracting in #1 but it's good to see different angles for sure. Was it a goal ?

I don't like to set up that close to the goal but the end line was so crowded I didn't have a choice. I could either just watch action on the other side of the net or use manual focus and get what I could. I like the unusual perspective but don't plan on making it a regular practice. The goalie was able to deflect the shot just wide.

Like #2.

OH Yeah! These are what we all try for...
