Soccer pics

[SCOOTERINSLC]

Hi all,
Last Saturday I had two very cool birthday presents: A new Lowepro camera bag and tickets to see our new pro soccer team the Salt Lake Real (pronounced re-al). They're currently playing in Rice Eccles Stadium until they get their own field built. This was our fourth game this year but the first where I attempted any pics. The security is nothing short of a total joke and I was down on the field in 10 minutes. It's amazing how if you hang a big lense and body off a monopod and one around your neck, how many security people you can simply walk past. It was in the high 90's and I think I cooked what few brain cells I have left in a mere 90 minute game.
All shots Maxxum 7d, and Tamron 200-400, ISO 200. Enjoy.

nice action. I think I'd rework them a bit though to get rid of the shadows.

as for sneaking on to the field, not a good idea, most places you will get caught, and that can be nasty, including, but not limited to jail time and confiscation of gear. I've seen it happen.
