Daily Snap: Heads up!


Gear: Canon 5D Mark III; Canon 70-200 2.8L
Settings: f/2.8, 1/800th of a second, ISO 5000, 200mm

The story: Final stages of a high school girls soccer game, and a corner from my side of the net. Ball comes in, and I happen upon the right player at the right time. Definitely some luck involved. Only better thing would have been if this was the game-tying goal (it bounced harmlessly into the keeper's arms).

Why I like it: Dynamic. And great color, right? And shadows. This was long after sunset, so it was enitrely stadium lights. There's a great line between the player's eyes and the ball, and that leads you through the frame. And more simply, it's just good, athletic action, with the player standing out in front of the night-sky background.
