Nice action. Glad that your team won.

The day time shots are under-exposed except #4 where faces are exposed proprely. It seems you using Av mode which can get fooled by what is in the background and uniforms. So I prefer to shoot manual exposure only.

The night time shots have Wb issues. Nice action BTW.

Thank you very much

I can't remember if i was using Av mode or manual, but i remember that some soccer i was using Av and some was using Manual, but i agree that i have to stay with manual so then the camera not misled or fooled by the exposure of the grass, faces, and the clothes and so.

What i can do with nightshots WB? what i should do to get better colors or WB at nightshots?

Agreed...wb issues and great action. The night ones look greenish to me, especially noticeable on the skin.

I agree as well

So tomorrow [Monday] i have another match that i would like to shoot, but this time this match will be in the evening time after the sunset, so i will be using higher ISO, and it will be all under the flashlight of the field, so how can i avoid that WB issue and the color cast?
I believe this match flashlight will be better, as this stadium has better flashlight than our stadium, but still the exposure under those lights are different than normal sunny day exposure.

Tareq,

You can either set you camera to the type of lights the stadium uses (incandescent or fluorescent), or you can use custom white balance by shooting something solid white under the lights and using that to set your WB.

OK, i shoot RAW, can't i just change that white balance in any RAW softwares? or is it better to use the proper WB from the beginning? i hope the lights there i can choose will be right to my WB.

You can, but then you have to change it for everything. What if you shoot something white at the beginning, then use that for your wb in your raw software, then set every photo to that temperature? That should be the same as using custom wb.

OK, i think i will find many white boards around the field to shoot them as custom white balance.
And you know we wear white long dresses, so i may use that as a custom WB [I wear white long dress called "Dishdashah" or "Kandoorah" in our local accent].

beautiful shots
