I never really enjoyed shooting people but over the years I'd normally take my gear to a game or two just to try
to get a few quality shots of my own kids.
I shot this tournament over the weekend of the team. I'll probably start shooting my kids(3 all in soccer)
games. I actually enjoyed it this past weekend but have much to learn shooting sports(people in general).

Thanks for the comments,

Justin

People are a totally different thing and sports different than general people photos.

The kingfisher shot is very nice. Five hours between games! Presumably your daughter was off with her teammates and didn't want Dad embarrassing her... sounds like a great opportunity to escape!

All of these are great, but that Kingfisher is awesome.

Well done.

She was with the ex-wife and yes her teammates. My son and I went off and did our thing

Worked out well.

Thanks!

Sadly my best Kingfisher to date. They're just hard to get close to here in this area
unless I get waders on lol.

Thanks,

Justin
