Defense

In GLax, usually I'm trying to get action which includes one of the girls when they have the ball. However, that tends to leave me with too few shots of the defenders. Here are a couple where I was trying a little more to get girls, even when they didn't have the ball.

    Anytime you can get sports shots that have the athlete's eyes it is usually a good to a great shot. Nice hob on the focus - these are tack sharp.

    Nice work Will. I especially like the last one. This must be club??

    I think that is a perfectly good strategy. The intensity in the defenders' eyes and body language is the story - #2 and #4 are particularly good in that respect. I do different sports, but I have come to the same conclusion. I now also concentrate on capturing the opponent forwards/attackers and I have been pleasantly surprised at how many keepers I get with the defender lunging in a desperate effort to intercept.
    Just as an aside - did you notice how many of the girls have their mouthguards out or partly out? I am finding this with some of my football (Australian Rules - not NFL) players. Must make their parents cringe!!!!
    My opinion does not necessarily make it true. What you do with my opinion is entirely up to you.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    This is club. It is peak club season for the next two months--some hot/humid weekends ahead. I pretty much can have the sidelines to myself with a still camera as most parents are trying to take video of their girls to send to coaches. I've tried doing some video, but I really don't have the knack for it. It seems completely opposite to stills--keeping wide instead of tight to keep the whole action in perspective, etc. And you have to be so slow moving the camera or else your viewer gets seasick. Not sure I'll be any good when I finally can graduate to a modern DSLR with video capabilities.

    You're right, they are! What's funny is that between the games they are typical teenage girls. They flip the switch when the whistle blows.

    Especially after all the money most of these girls have had spent on them for braces.
