Break-away in the rain under the lights
This past Spring's club U14 soccer season was a very busy time, both personally and professionally, which prevented me from spending much time in post with the photos I took at my son's games. Overall, I took approximately 8000 photos of tournaments and league games. Throughout the Summer I have been pecking away at them and this series is one that I knew I wanted to convert to black and white from the moment I downloaded them from the camera.

We attended the Essex Vermont soccer tournament in June. I rented the Canon 70-200 F/2.8L IS USM II lens from LensRentals.com for the tournament weekend.
Saturday was a gorgeous summer day without a cloud to be found in the sky; unfortunately this weather did not make for very good photos.
On Sunday morning however, it was quite a different situation. We awoke to tropical down pours and when we arrived at the fields we found they were quite flooded in locations. Thankfully the rain slowed as the game started and I was able to rig my umbrella within my backpack straps such that I could shoot unimpeded.
The rain and standing water made for some fantastic action photos and the kids had a blast!
Thanks for stopping by today!
