to the left is a wounderfull example why a 5.6 zoom is to slow and VR does not help in every situation.

As we can see we have quiete a cluttered background and a bad sepration of the motiv and the fence. At F/2.8 I could have used a shutterspeed of 1/800 instead of 1/400 which would make sure that the ball was sharp instead of blurred by the motion.

Maybe someday I can find a nice used 180 mm F/2.8 or 80-200mm F/2.8 which fits the budget.

So far I going to stick with iso 400 or 800 and try to shoot from an angle where I don't have the problem with the background.

during the football game i tried to use the automatic focal point detection feature. Which turned out to be not the best idea, because all pictures seem pretty unsharp.

To the left ED trying to catch, sadly I did not got the actual moment of the catch.

saturday afternoon,
4 pm,
martins 31st birthday party,
my first time playing football. (to the left matt),
my first time taking football pictures,

So this game looks pretty retarted in TV and I will never understand why they can't design a round ball instead of this uggly weirdshapped egg,
but it's acutally quite fun to play...

...if you can call what we did playing,
we were more running around like chickens and try to catch the ball,
specially in each team maybe two player knew how to play
and the rest played for their first time
and is not able to throw the ball in a straigth line...
