Number 4 is my grandson. That's why he is the only one in focus!

Love the looks on the parents, especially the guy in the green shirt. Good stuff.:):

Thanks. The guy in the green shirt is actually the coach, and the little girl in green is his daughter.

This was my first attempt at shooting sports with a DSLR, and while the focus tracking and instant shutter response help tremendously, it's still a challenge!

Nice JT The coach looks like he's having fun....lol


It's really tough to get the little ones shot well. They all just mill around the ball. It's like watchinbg a swarm of bees or locusts.....lol And when they finally do catch up to the ball, everyone starts kicking. It's hard to take pictures when you're doubled up with laughter

Thanks for sharing,

But they're having fun, and that's what it's all about. At the end of this one, my grandson's team won by a score of 1-1!
