St. Louis Athletica Womens Professional Soccer

This past Saturday night was the inaugural game of the Saint Louis Athletica Womens Professional Soccer team so my camera and I accompanied my family to watch the game. The game was very different from anything I have shot before but I was able to get a few decent shots. I see the need for a 400 2.8 in my future.

I was there! Bringing up an old post I know. My work does distributing and sales for the team

nice work.. i take it we are the green? like the old ambush that are going to be making a comeback I feel like and stl will be known as a soccer town again..

I thought I was just to the right on #5, but I think that is the far end. I took my 7 year old and my 6 month old - too much to carry to bring the photo equipment......and my cell phone picture of Hope is pretty rough.

I saw several L lenses on our end. It was a fun game.

Nice work Scott. Watch those horizons and consider lifting some shadows and warming #4 and you've got some winners. I am blown away by the lighting there, did they have 10 towers on each side or something? We have our USL1 home opener here tomorrow night in a new facility. We've yet to play a night game or practice there so I have no idea what to expect. If its anything even close to this, I'll be thrilled!

I plan on attending at all the home games so I'll have tons of pics. The next home game my daughter and her team will will be out on the field at half time.
Here is what I have from the last two games:

Thanks. Yes, St . Louis Athletica are the girls in green. Ambush was nice but the women are much more fun to watch I do hope the league goes over well since they play about five miles from my house.

I was shooting from the west side on the south end of the field. You are right though there were a lot of nice lenses there. I felt rather under gunned with my little old 70-200. There was a lot of lens envy on my part that game but last weeks game I didn't feel too out of place since ther were quite a few of us with 70-200's

Scott, thanks for the comments. I know I really need to watch the horizons I really need to work on that. This game was my first time ever at a professional soccer game and I was shocked how fast the game was. I've shot college soccer before and it is absolutely no comparison. The lights at Korte Stadium at SIUE are good which is nice, if I remember correctly there are only 2 Banks on each side.

Here are a few pictures from last Saturday's game:
