Olympics 2012: Womens Football Semi Finals

[Habitual]

I went to the Semi Finals of the Womens football at Old Trafford on Monday night. It was an excellent game - the final score was 4-3 in the 123rd minute!

I had decent seats, but not perfect for my little 55-250mm.

Here are my favourites:

I found Football quite hard to shoot, TBH. It was hard freezing the ball in such low light conditions. It's times like that I wish I had a bit better kit.

Thanks for looking!

They seem a tad underexposed, like the composition on the first one though.

Cheers!

I agree, I struggled to find a decent balance with my exposure. Maybe some PP would do the trick.

What monitor do you do PP in? and do you have the colours/profile setup?

I noticed this too on alot of your photos, still look good though!

Bet the atmosphere was awesome wasn't it?

Thousands of people trying to figure out whether to watch the ball, or watch the fit chick with big knockers running down the wing? I'd call it more confusing than awesome

Nice pictures though, quite an artistic feel to a sport which I like.

What do you mean, "what monitor"?

I used Lightroom 3, not sure I have colours/profile set up?

The only editing on these is the crop.

Cheers man. It was a great atmosphere because no one cared haha. Everyone was there to watch GB, who didn't get through. So everyone was just having a good lol.

I mean computer monitor, or are you on a Mac etc?

There are specific colour profiles per monitor usually, or you can calibrate a monitor to give "true" colours, and in your case maybe a bit "brighter" That may help to see if they're underexposed/dodgy colours etc

I went to Old Trafford last weekend and the atmosphere was brilliant, especially for the Brazil vs Belarus game. That was the men's though so didnt have to choose between the game and watch the fit chick with big knockers running down the wing

Makes sense! I'll check it out when I get back.
