Goal Keeper Shot

[William Velasquez]

Hello everyone,

I've been really busy shooting sports almost everyday that I have not had time to process or post anything. This is one that caught my eye as I was doing a back up of the pics. Comments critiques welcome.

William, great catch.

You made her famly's day.

Was this with the 300 2.8 or the 70-200?

Do you ever change lenses or is that the one lens you use.

BTW, suggest putting the lenses in your "Interests" in your profile so the inventory is not availble for thieves. We don't allow unregistered to view your profile.

Thanks!

They have not seen the pic yet but I'm sure they'll like it, I hope.

This was shot with 300 F2.8 wide open.

Well, I borrowed a friend's 20D so I'm using two bodies. One with the 300mm F2.8 and one with the 70-200mm F2.8 and switch back and forth as I need to. This was my first game shooting with both bodies so I'm stll trying to figure out when to switch cameras etc. And I think that eventually I'll buy a second body, maybe when Canon releases the new models, I'll probably go for a Mark II.

Thanks for the heads up.

Nice shot William.

I shoot soccer with two bodies only very rarely. About the only time I do is for the playoffs when I want to catch more of the "action" on the sideline and in the stands. For ordinary matches I haven't found it necessary or even useful; in fact it tends more to just get it the way.

Nill, I was just going for a test drive using two bodies, it was fun!

Thanks for your comments. I too like the hair flying out! :)
Thanks for looking.

William,

With the 1.6 factor and a 300mm lens that shot is pretty wide, maybe ~8ft! Where were you?

Asher,

I'm not exactly sure how many feet I was but I was as close as the 300mm lens allowed me to be to get the action of the keeper with minimum cropping.

William,

Great shot. You certainly captured the moment. Even her arm is not blocking her face. Did you crop at all in pp?
