The EqualiserMarcus's "Golden Goal" inspired me to get out a shot I took yesterday at my son's soccer. I'm just a bit disappointed that the goal scorer and goalie are just out of focus - i had the camera on multi frame and I think the focussing sensor was right in between the two of them.
We lost 3-2. Frank My photo gallery: http://www.frankalvaro.net

Hey frank, you captured the moment but you are right about the focus. I have that problem too. I guess I would delete almost half of the shots I take during a game due to it. Keep on shooting!!
I know nutzinc
Another sporting moment, great timing. What sort of focus type/setting where you using AF-C or dynamic?
Just wondering, would using AF-C mean that if your focus sensor wasn't on the ball (excuse the pun) would that mean it could focus on something a radically different distance? Also, curious as to lens? The focus would have to be pretty snappy for this I'd imagine. Aka Andrew
Mudder,
focus mode was AF-C and dynamic. Lens was Nikon 70-300 G. The original shot is wider on both sides than the one I posted, and I think the AF sensor must have been in between the goalie and the striker, and so when the shot was taken it was actually focussed on something else, probably the background, or else the shot was just plain taken before focus was locked at all. It's a shame, because it spoils what would have been a nice photo. Frank My photo gallery: http://www.frankalvaro.net

G'day,
If you're keen on this image and want to "tighten it up" you could always try downloading the demo of focus magic and play, if that's what you're after... I've seen Focus Magic do some pretty spiffy things... Aka Andrew
oooh, sounds interesting.
