U-10 Soccer C&C

Some u-10 soccer from this past weekend. My son is on a new team after a difficult spring season. They went to the finals and lost. Not too bad considering it was the first time they all played together.

Shooting these yellow uniforms is challenging. Next time I am going to work on better exposure for the faces and work on changing the focus point on the camera itself. I feel like I need to move that focus point around a bit. Especially when I am changing the camera orientation from portrait to landscape (vertical to horizontal). Will need to break out the manual for that one. Backgrounds at the tournaments are a pain btw!

All were shot with the 1d classic and sigma 100-300mm. ISO was 400 and SS was changed when needed. Processed in LR, I rarely use Photoshop any longer unless I am working on a collage or something.

All are cropped for the web.

nice set, great timing, love the action

I like them, #1 is my favorite. Ive felt your pain with the backgrounds. My son has played for years and I've had to deal with bad backgrounds and parents sitting right up on the edge of the field. As far as exposure all look good to me except #2, it looks a little hot. You might try lowering the highlights in LR to bring down the bright yellow reflections. Keep posting.

good actions shots
