First Soccer Shoot

Uploaded: September 19, 2013

Description


---
This is one heckuva FAST game. It was the first soccer game I've tried to shoot. I snapped the shutter about 1000 times and was disappointed with the number of "decent" images that were made. Sigh.

This was one of the successes!

It sure was a success, Michelle. Ow, though, looks so painful. I don't believe I've ever seen a soccer game--ever. #10849080

Well Michelle as Ansel Adams always said, if he could come home with one great shot at the end of the day it was a good day and by looking at this shot this is your one great shot for the day. #10849182

:) soccer will indeed test your skills :). Love the game, although after years of playing, I think I might have to retire to the sidelines and just use the camera :(. #10849846
