Nikon D3, 300mm, 3200iso, f/2.8, 1/640, manual

Usually I’m pretty lazy when it comes to shooting soccer and I end up posting myself near the goals and I don’t really move around too much. Its easy to shoot from there, I get faces, good action, the ball, and it never fails. The one thing that I seem to miss out on a lot is headers. The ball is usually kicked to far to get a usable shot, or the ball is kicked from the other side and I get photos of the players backs. I decided to work the sidelines a little more than usual and came back with some images that are a little different than my usual.

Canon 5D MKII, 70-200mm @ 200mm, 4000iso, f/2.8, 1/640, manual

Throughout this week I have been switching cameras every couple days. I’ve been shooting with a Canon 5D MKII for a video project that I’ve been working on. When it came time to shoot my soccer assignment I forgot that I had lent my D3 to a friend. I figured that shooting soccer with the 5D would be nice, and it was…it just wasn’t as nice as shooting with a D3 and a 300mm prime.

However, the colors on that camera are amazing and photos were sharp. Nothing to complain about.

Pumped up? I would have to say yes.

UC Irvine’s Amani Walker usually makes a photo interesting with acrobatic athleticism.

I was pleased to get the shot below of Amani Walker below sliding for a goal attempt. Its seems rare to get a shot of the player attempting to score a goal while being close enough to get the goalie in the photo. I think it turned out well.

At most times during the game I wished that I had a longer lens. Even when I took this celebration photo below I had wished that I had a longer lens. When I went to edit this photo I realized that it is also a good dejection photo that shows the losing team in the background.

Less writing, more talking.
