Not a fan of team sports... but that is a great photo... she is ssssssoooo sharp... this might be a nood question,.. has the background been blurred at all in post production?

Id rather see it with the ball more in focus and without the very distracting background. Not sure what you were going for with f/2.2

This is a good looking photo. Only thing would be if she perked up her facial expression. Kind of looks a little like she is fall asleep...haha.

Many thanks! The blur is natural, straight from the camera.

Isolation of the subject? Testing a new lens. Pleasing the likes of the previous poster? :)

I'd crop it tight and call it good. Including all of the ball isn't that crucial to this shot's story.

i dunno what i like more...your gear list or the photo1...probly the gear list the photo didnt make me drool lol.
that 200 f/2 looks like an excellent lens!

i do agree however that you should close down the aperture a bit with this age group especially. The younguns tend to kick the ball way out infront instead of keeping it close under control which is gonna make the ball OOF in alot of situations


Canon 40D, 70-200 f/4L, 28-135 IS, 50 f/1.8

That is a GREAT shot of your son. The lighting was perfect! I am relatively new to trying to photograph my kids at their sports, but this was taken with my MIII and 70-200 f/2.8L IS lens:

I agree, actually. The shot of my son was at f/5.6 IIRC. But I just got the 200 and wanted to see what the Platinum Brick could do wide open, or should I say nearly wide open.

Thanks, Adam. The second shot I posted, the one of my son, was taken with the 70-200 f/2.8L IS. Though I actually sold that lens, among others, to help finance the purchase of the 200/2.

Cheers.
