Newbie at soccer shooting

[Jeff Mims]

This is the first year I've tried soccer. Now that I'm a seasoned veteran (two games...) I can post a few shots. (I'm kidding about the "seasoned veteran..of course)

Jeff,

These girls are tuffies! I'm so impressed with the grimaces in the first picture, something we've noticed is more extreme in women's sports! Very powerful effort being put into their game.

Neither has the ball. (Does the damn thing know it's supposed to be in front of the women!!

I guess the girl in green is just blocking the blue as neither has access to the ball!

Hi Jeff,
Great shots here mate, the expressions tell the whole story. Women's sport is certainly becoming more and more competitive these days. Did you use the the 300 2.8 for these?

The colours are fantastic and I'd be interested to know some of the picture settings your camera is set on, whether you had it on Natural or Faithful or whatever??

Regards,
Barry.
