Practicing my skills

As you may or may not know, I'm taking a intro photography class at UT for a couple of months.  To hone my skills, I offered to take some shots at a soccer game for a friend whose son was playing.  These are some of the more reasonable results.  All were shot in manual exposure mode - we took an oath not to shoot in anything else until the instructor releases us!  They're also pretty much straight out of the camera - if you pixel-peep, you'll notice I didn't do any sharpening or noise reduction....

Anyway, here's some kids.  Playing football.  Because that's what the rest of the world calls it.















The little blonde kid (#7) was pretty amazing for a 7-8 year old!
