Tonight Soccer in UAE (Sharjah vs. AlWasl)

These are photos i took today evening of a match in "Itisalat" league in UAE.

The Result was 1-1.

It is my first time shooting in a big Staduim so don't expect it is good enough, but i hope comments and critiques to get better next time.

camera Used mostly is: 1D MarkIIN, Lens: 70-200 F2.8L IS.

Nice photos. Personally your crop neesd to be tighter. Try investing in a 1.4 extender

Also Why the military?

First of all, Thank you very much that you reply to my thread at least

I have 1.4 extender (check sig )

I used my 70-200, so with 1.4 you know that focus and fstop will be changed which is not good enough in sports, i need to get prime to get tighter shots and i can use 1.4 on them better than on zoom.
All shots are uncropped, so if i crop it will be more better, can you crop for me

Military i don't know why, but sure in matches as usual there are some touching (fighting or so) between 2 teams or the cheeleaders, so military are for emergency.

Hi Tareq.

I like your images. Pin sharp. Very nicely exposed and lovely colours on show.

Shoot tight and crop tighter.

Really well done.

I agree with everything so far, tighter crops, and the fact that you ned more reach as you pointed out. BUT, The pictures are VERY nice

I did some crops myself before i posted these shots here but i posted uncropped to see your crops and comparing it with mine, and i feel happy that most of my crops are correct and i will learn more on crops later.

In fact i am not into sports photography, but after i see many inspired photos here on this forum i said why not? even i am not a professional doesn't mean i can't do my best anyway.

I will post more later of another matches, your comments are so supportive to me.

Don't worry, i saw many cropped shots of soccer ot football and so, just i need more time to learn on croping shots and i feel it is easy just i know what to crop and thats it.
About more reach i didn't buy any lens for more reach as i am not into sports that much yet and i don't know what is ideal for me: 300 or 400? i have time to decide but till that i can play around with my zooms: 7-2 & 1-4.

Thank you very much for your supportive comments as well, i feel happy that my photos are not bad so, and i will try to get better if i can next time.
