Try capturing the "Big Air" during your next soccer game. I grabbed these shots using my Canon Mark II with my 300mm f2.8 lens (ISO 400, 1/2000 shutter speed).
Even capturing soccer in the rain can be fun.....well at least entertaining. I used my 300mm f.8 lens and the settings were ISO 400 and 1/8000 shutter speed. Can you see the rain drops?
When shooting soccer, I often try to capture the ball in mid flight. It really helps illustrate the action and intensity of the game. I used my Canon Mark II and 300mm f2.8 lens for these shots (usually around 1/8000 per sec shutter speed in good sun light). test
