Hi!
I was excited to try this lens out for the 1st time shooting sports.
Being 300mm, I sat way behind the net and even then, it was tough when play was closer.
I do love the quality of this glass compared to my Sigma 70-200, but the latter is more functional being able to widen quickly.
However, I managed to snap some shots of my son playing in the 1st game of the season.
I was pleased with the outcome.
This particular shot is neat as my son (orange) completely juked & deked his best friend out who plays on the other team.
It was a good laugh for them afterwards. His buddy didn't hurt his ankles, but a soccer expression 'breaking ankles' means you've put some good moves on
I'm not sure if there's anything I could have done with the dark shadows in the background? The game was played at night and this field is surrounded by tall cedar hedges so plenty of shadows.
