Hello,

My 8 year-old son plays soccer in a local team. When I take him to practice we (the parents) are usually joking about them been our retirement plans because the stock market is so crazy.
Despite been the most popular sport in the world it is only recently it is starting to catch up here.
Last weekend there was a small tournament and several teams were invited. I'm not sure who had the most fun: Them playing or me chasing them with my camera All pics K100D Super / 18-55 kit's lens

Real nice series, you've got some great action shots there.

[Scottnorwo]

well done. one tough sport to shoot.

[tommen]

Very nice color and contrast. I especially like the 7th shot-the mix of facial expressions is very nice.

Thank you all for the nice comments. I had a great time and once again my K100DS with the kit's lens proved to be very capable.

Thanks,

Some great kid action pics in this series!

Very nice series of a hard to shoot sport. Number 4 & 6 nicely show the heart of soccer skills.

That kid in Pix 1 looks so much like Ronaldo!

I like them. I don't know if the arrangement of the field would have let you move around, but I would say change your shooting position a little to get there faces out of the shadows more.

Good point! They didn't allow anybody on the other 3 sides this time but definitely I'll keep it in mind in future games.

Thanks,
