Soccer Game

While thinking about how I wanted to capture motion on camera I drove past a soccer field. I instinctively parked, got out of the car and jogged towards a game that was about to start. I laid down on the green grass, on the side of the field and took photos for the rest of the afternoon. I took time observing a pro photographer circling the field to find precise shots and utilizing elaborate angles to capture the action. The distance I had to maintain from the game and figuring out for myself how to capture the player’s movement was quite a delightful learning experience. And yes, the ball hitting me was a risk I had to take.
