My Nephew's Football match

[thereyougo!]

I went to my youngest nephew's football match today. He is 7 years old and loves his soccer. He doesn't know the meaning of a gentle pass mind you, but is a prolific scorer.


All with Nikon D800 and AF-S 80 - 200 f/2.8

He's CUTE! LOVE his intensity in the first one and that tongue hanging out!

 

[thereyougo!]

His tongue is out pretty much all of the time when he is playing football - even when he is just kicking about in his back garden. Was happy with the 80 - 200's focussing speed - a good few misses but I suspect that was down to me rather than the lens. Especially as I had the AF set on single point AF-S rather than continuous.

He is a flirt with the ladies always giving them the eye and he gets plenty of attention. He has ADHD with a vengeance - he is quite a handful unless you keep him occupied. Football is a good outlet for him

Lovely photos!! Very nice!!

With exception to 3&4 the
Saturation for me is a tad bright!!

IMHO
