Field Hockey

IMO, field hockey and soccer are the two hardest field sports to shoot. It really helps to have the referees' and coaches' support and tolerance. Here are some shots of a HS girls' game shot in terrible, bright, late-afternoon light.

Sure hoping for overcast at the next game! The shadows and contrast are killers and really limit your shooting angles.

    Thanks Will. Yeah, I forgot about Lax. That's tough too.

    I think soccer is the worst, the action moves back and forth so quickly on that huge field.

    I find football (soccer) much harder but probably it's because I would shoot about 15x more field hockey than soccer in a season I could read the flow much better.

    Tough light but good exposures. Framed a bit loose for my taste but that's me :)

    Now you've got me wanting to shoot some hockey, they don't play it in Egypt. Hope we get to see some more in the future.

    I'm here to learn so please feel free to give me constructive criticism to help me become the photographer I desire to be.
