In reply to Donna Artis.

This may be obvious, but:

1. You’ll need to increase the maximum ISO and/or minimum shutter speed. Make sure it’s at least 1/500.

2. Use burst mode (hint #3 above) so that you take many shots quickly, rather than just one at a time.
3. What’s the maximum aperture on your 70-300 lens? you’d want as small an f-stop as possible, since smaller f-stop means larger aperture.

Just curious why you said start with ISO of 400 on a sunny day. I would typically start at f100 and move up. Your reasoning? Thanks

Hi, I’m a secretary for an adults football team and having been taking photos of them for quite some years now, but the only time I have issues is when the weather conditions change, I’m ok when the sun is out, but struggle with getting the right settings when it’s raining. I have a 70-300mm lens.
Also, do you have any tips for taking photos during floodlights?

I’ve been photographing my son for several years (he is 11 years old) and often get some incredible shots. However, I’m always looking for ways to get better and these were great. I especially liked the one about sitting on a camp stool so you don’t get too much field in the shot. Thanks so much!

A friend of mine asked me to take video his last soccer game. Which lens would you think that is more suitable? I have a Canon 600d and my lenses are 18-200mm, 50mm(1.8),10-18mm and 18-55mm. Any other tip would be much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance. Kostas

Great article! I tried shooting a soccer game when visiting the US recently as my son was taking part in the match. It’s very tricky to get the action in shot! I found keeping both eyes open (one viewfinder, one trying to track the action instead of being shut) helped. Also, rapid fire helped to try and make sure at least some of the action was captured! Using AI Servo helped the focussing. Anticipating things was helpful as well – try this when a corner is being taken as you pretty much know where the ball is likely to arrive. One example of a shot I took is attached. This is 1/640 at f4.6, shot in RAW and processed in Digital Professiona and Elements 10.

For these, I used a Canon 70-300 lens. Nice lens and not over-expensive!
