    HS Soccer

    This was my first attempt at HS soccer. First game/match I ever attended. Not a real high quality of competion, but I learned a lilttle with this outing. No lights at the field and it got pretty dark by the time the guys got to play. At any rat ehere are a few of my first soccer shots.

    Thanks JS. I was hoping to get to shot somemore soccer tomarrow, but I was talking to one of the team members at the football game tonight and for some reason the game was called off. Now I have to find somethng else to point the camera at.

    Re: HS Soccer

    Well you could shoot my football game tonight.... ... I need a break especially with my upcoming schedule. Next Saturday starts sectional & regional hell month. I think I will be working almost the entire next 5 weeks.... tennis, soccer, cross country, football ... NO GOLF!!!!!!! I refuse to shoot golf! period! hahaha, the paper knows better than to try and schedule me for golf... my truck and van will be disabled for some odd repairs and I will be sick for that day.....but I'll shoot any of the others the same day

    This game tonight could get real ugly real fast. One powerful team against a doormat. It just happens to be the doormats homecoming too. The visitor (team I'm shooting) has won the last 5 meetings by an average of 40 points.

    JETA your swelling my head. This was the first HS soccer I had ever shot (first match/game I ever attended). I have a pretty big learning curve to learn were I need to be on the sidelines and were the action is going to be. Iwas pretty please with what I got however and hope to shot more in the future. Sure would like a longer lens to shot this sport with.

    Re: HS Soccer

    they're pretty good, but they look soft. The focus looks bit off. What lens were you shooting with? Maybe its just a soft lens. especially the first one looks like it was exposed to a little bit of oversharpening. Good moments, too bad the focus was off.
