OK, the failure of my hosted images last time prompts me to try again...as if the last time did not happen. :) This one should work so hopefully we can think about sports shooting instead of the mechanics of posting...here goes another try! Thanks for looking and comments are welcome.

Hey Nill...that was a field with a super high crown and they were on the far side of it...I was sitting on a low stool, but not lower. It was very early morning and a bit of that golden hour sun got them full on.

You are correct Nicolas, three feet are very handy in soccer. ;) In fact that is the only thing that keeps that shot from being perfect...oh well, will just have get those players to listen to me more when I'm telling them where to play. :)

Great images! You really captured the ladies' intensity. I think the black and white would work a little better for me if you mixed in more red to lighten the skin relative to the background. That's just my personal preference though - I tend to mix my B&W images or people as the maximum of red and green because I love the little glow it gives to the skin.

Shane, very nice pictures, I love how sharp they are especially the second one. Do you do allot of post processing on these or are these almost straight from the camera minus crop and resize. I shoot allot of U11 soccer but can not seem to get shots like these. Mine are OK but nothing like this.

Nice work.

Hey Kevin, thanks for the note. I do almost no post procecssing on any sports photos. Maybe some levels and crop, but that is it. Getting it right in camera is something that helps any image with most post work either losing pixels or getting a processed look (which I don't like at all). Not sure that helps. Mostly I think it helps to watch the backgrounds, the light, and timing. Then the technical aspects coming into play (DOF, ISO, shutter speed, etc.). But I find my best shots are standouts because of the first three elements, and of those, light is the most important.
