Hello, I have been shooting children's soccer games for the past few years.

Although I am a rank amateur, parents really enjoy the finished photographs,

which has given me the encouragement and feedback that I need to improve. This

has also made me wonder about the experiences and expertise of other people who

photograph soccer matches. So here are my questions: What ways of photographing

soccer games have helped you get great shots and would you please show me your

best soccer images? Thanks!<div>[ATTACH=full]1052388[/ATTACH]</div>

A couple taken with my brand new Tamron 70-200 f2.8 G2. Best purchase I have made. Certainly improved the technical quality of my shots i.e. Clarity, colour, contrast, DoF/blurred background and importantly focus.

I haven't had any real problems with focusing on this lens but having used this lens extensively, I have found it is only

sharp at f10 At all other apertures softness is very pronounced and can often look very much like poor focusing.
