I thought I'd go and take a few pictures at a high school tournament. Since this was the first soccer match I ever watched, I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, the first 10 minutes had the following injuries, one dislocated knee, one shin contusion and 2 concussions!! I thought this was a non-contact sport. Since I know lots about sports, I know it was just a fluke but certainly made it interesting.
Since I'm really a beginner and need help with my settings and tips on how to make my pictures better, I was hoping some of you could help.
It was a very sunny day so I set the first two pictures to 200 ISO, F/9 and 1/640.
The last two were 200 ISO, F/8 and 1/400. I tried to include the striking of the ball. I really see a difference in the 2nd two, blurry to me and also the color doesn't seem as sharp. The first 2 maybe alittle dark. Am I close on what I see?
Any tips are very appreciated. I really like this forum because the people that reply really know their stuff and are helpful to us beginners.
Thanks in advance
