PAW 32

Soccer

Ah, the challenge of trying out for soccer!  The kids don’t really know the difference between a game and a “try out”. (I’m sure everyone who wants to play will be able to play.)  I’m no soccer player but, to me, all were equally skilled. 

For outdoor situations like this, I always choose my Canon 7D and the 70-200mm zoom.  This particular shot was taken at ISO 400, f5.6 and 1/400 second.  The somewhat slower shutter speed than might be expected for a bright mid-morning day was due to using a polarizing filter that was probably not needed.

Shot in RAW mode and processed in Camera Raw, cropped in Photoshop from horizontal format to vertical format using about 1/3 the original frame .
