For a brief moment in time, these boys had no idea where the ball was! :lol:

Kids sports can really make for some fun shots as they are more prone to mistakes.

Well timed shot :)

Question: What lens...what mode...shutter....? Would you have PP a bit on the slightly dark area of the boys face? I have a few like this...maybe a bit darker in the face and been told that i should lighten that area up. just curious

It's all in his EXIF.

300mm focal length
F/4 1/2500

I'm guessing the 300mm prime?

grab a copy of the exif viewer: http://www.opanda.com/en/iexif

Yes, it's the prime.

I guess it's a matter of taste. I suppose the dark area could be lightened but since it's pretty representative of what I was seeing with the real lighting effects on the field, I chose not to edit.
