I'm slacking!

Realized I haven't posted any of my recent games.
Shameless MOM photos of my own kid for a change!

Yep, I am totally emotionally invested in those two...
These next two are from two of my "money shot" kids:

Amazing shots I like the grimy emotion I feel lopkong at the player staying out to the field. Very persuasive emotion

 

[Rosy]

love them. What are you shooting with?

 

[Rob4bama]

#3 is awesome! As a parent, I'd love that. You can't get that with a point and shoot.

These are with a 7D, Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 OS.
Settings on the first two: 1/500; f/6.3 ISO 800

Settings on the last two: 1/500; f/3.5; ISO 12800

I like #3 the most. Others are nice but something about the feeling of that photo.

 

[Parker219]

Agree, 3 is awesome.

 

[Rick58]

Simply shameless, but number 3 is very good, The rest are just are just good

Me too. He's so intense when he plays. Incredible focus and determination and it's really paid off for him this year. He's gone from a decent starting player to a really GOOD one!

Just don't tell my own kid that!

Image 3 is great, I would have cropped the others a little tighter though.

GUILTY! LOL! I always leave extra room for ordering because of that darned crop factor... and usually it's too much extra!

Slacker! Going to bed early, like at 1:00 AM after processing pics...Geeze... (wink)

The JV team has had a downright sh!tty season, so this win was pretty intense for them. Should have been in the car on the ride home... Volume control? HAH! And he has no mute button. Ever. Duct tape doesn't even help!

Thanks Everyone!

My pastor once asked me if my oldest talked in his sleep, because he wondered if there was EVER a moment when the boy wasn't talking! He's now 21, but he's still the one who calls me several times a week just to tell me insignificant little things about his day. I love that. My youngest lives in the same town and I have to text him every few weeks and ask if he's still alive, lol.

I love the photos; I agree that #3 is particularly powerful because it's so emotive.
But I like seeing the photos of your son, too!
I haven't shot a soccer game in almost two weeks, for one reason or another--sick, niece sick, game rained out, etc. Hoping to finally get another chance tomorrow evening. Picked up a 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 instead of my 55-300 since the last time I shot a game, so I'm anxious to see if it makes any difference at all. It sure is a more solid lens!
