Yes this weekend brought another soccer event shoot at Pudsey Football Tournament. 54 teams from under 6`s to under 12`s! Scorching sun, demanding coaches and lots of willing little runners and some talented players around. Once again some coaches and parents felt it necessary to castigate their kids for "letting themselves down" and had the mistaken belief that bawling to a team of under 7`s to "keep wide" and " Throw it down the line" would transfer a ball chasing pack resembling a herd of wildebeests being chased by a lion into some kind of total football outfit. Got to laugh! That said there were other parents and coaches who just relished their kids having a good time and encouraged them all the way - surely the right way.
Shooting wise great learning again - developing my skills of organising group shots by being clearer instructions and demonstrating - somehow under 9s still find it hard to tell left knee from right or keep close together. Action shots even harder. With the pack chase isolating an individual with the b all enough to get a saleable shot is hard! Good practice for getting ti right in camera with a jpeg first time and shooting with as wide an aperture as you can though. Great fun!
I liked this one - saleable or not
