Womens Soccer

A few images from KSU's soccer team. The first image was shot with my rebel and 10-22 mounted to the goal with wireless triggers. All the others were shot with the 7d and 100-400. C&C welcome


1.

Nice Photos.

^^^Wow, was that out loud?^^^
Warning, brutal comments ahead...
#1 looks like warmups, what happened to the ball, results? delete. *best color of the entire presentation*
#2 player chasing a ball that looks like it got away. If this was spray & pray was there a better in the series?
#3 kicking a ball...meh
#4 OK, crop out all the dead space, acceptable b/g except for the girl sitting by herself
#5 chasing a ball...meh
#6 yahoo, a battle! boo backlit, soft... what are the guys at the table doing so close to the field? crop them out!
#7 Again, was this part of a string of shots? maybe there is one earlier in the sequence. Why did you stand up for this one? looks like any one of a number of parents' P&S post on FB. see how the perspective on #6 looks more professional?

I like the idea in shot #1. Can you tell me how/where you mounted your camera? I want to try the same thing with my son's team and my 50D, but am just a bit worried about it getting damaged. The color in that shot is great. Too bad, as the other fellow said, there was no ball action there.

Wow, the team in yellow has some awfully BIG players. A few of them could play linebacker on some NFL teams!

Uncalled for...

I think that's uncalled for. I don''t see how that relates to photography?

Yeah it was. What...my OPINION isn't allowed? Or are we just supposed to post nice, sweet, CASPER the Friendly Ghost like, comments?

And what, some of those players are NOT big?

You don't have to say anything nice about the photos. These are athletes not models. This is a photography forum for photo critique, not model mayhem

Thanks for all the pointers

I don't have a setup shot but I just used a super clamp with a magic arm attached and clamped it to the bottom of the goal. The bottom of the goal is flat so its easy to get a good connection. It was triggered with some cheap wireless trigger from B&H (which works really well for $30). I wasn't worried about it getting damaged because the net is to tight to allow the ball to come back that far.

Thanks Andrew. Very helpful.

Did you get approval of the referees to clamp the camera to the goal? Most of them won't allow anything to be attached.

Yes, I always ask before putting any equipment in the field of play. I extended the arm as far back as it would go so it really wasn't close.

your stupid explanation about your apology leads me to believe your apology is completely insincere. you would think after 2500 posts to this forum, you might know the difference between insults, compliments, and how and where and when they are appropriate on this forum. you should have just deleted all of your comments and moved on like you never said a word. just my opinion .

So it's OKAY for YOU to call my explanation STUPID...YOUR opinion, but it's NOT okay for ME to voice MY opinion about something in the photos?!

Didn't realize everyone was so TOUCHY, or that the TRUTH wasn't allowed!

Whatever.

your comment was juvenile at best, without a lick of humor or TRUTH in it. i commented on your comments--also inappropriate--because you asked what was wrong with them, and i felt obliged to answer you.

There was TRUTH to my comments. Sometimes the TRUTH is NOT P.C.

People just need to lighten up!!

SHEESH!!

But don't worry, from now on I'll ONLY post, NICE, COMPLIMENTARY, SWEET, SYRUPY, A$$ KISSING, WUSSYLIKE, comments.

dude, how did i know you were going to trot out that pc crap? here's the truth for you: women are not big enough to play in the nfl, and even if they were, none of the athletes in these pictures would be big enough or fast enough to play linebacker in the nfl. your comment was tasteless and stupid, a cowardly-imus-like insult against people who are not even present to defend themselves. in case you don't know, women never enjoy being referred to as big, especially when they aren't (you are the only one who was thinking that these women were bigger than normal women, not anybody else) and i have a feeling that if any of the girls pictured above heard you say what you said, you'd be running for your life. that's not an argument for or against being pc, that's simply the truth of the matter.
