Wanted to post some soccer shots from the weekend. Using picture control settings suggested by Tim Kelly after seeing his excellent baseball shots last week. Thanks Tim. I like them.
I am still working on my soccer shooting skills though. Having never played it I struggle to anticipate the peak action shots. I am finding I get them but some are just OOF as I just missed focus or I was on the player behind the one I really wanted. Have been shooting at f/4 with my 80-220 as I found the 80-200 to be slightly softer than I like at 2.8, don't get quite the subject seperation I would like but still good.
