Gear: Nikon D300S; Nikon 300mm f/2.8 IS
Settings: f/5.6, 1/1250th of a second, ISO 200, 300mm
The story: Evening soccer game. I've been disappointed with image quality at f/2.8 from the 300mm for the past few weeks, so I tried shooting at f/5.6 for a while. Quality was better, but you really see the DOF difference. I'll have to try f/4 my next time out. Boring game. One of those good light, bad action games.
Why I like this one: Two big reasons. Her eyes & the good, warm light. That said, I dislike the pole behind their heads and the coach in the background. Distracting. But I think the determination in her face, and the fact that it's so tack sharp, make up for it. Oh yeah, bonus points as a PJ ... this Mapleton girl scored a hat trick.
