A spectacular save

Posted by Chris Machielse on May 16, 2009 in Musings, Sports, Technology

Went to the girls’ varsity soccer game this past Thursday. Expect pictures and at least an extremely abbreviated game summary on the Banner main site sometime early this next week. It was tough to get decent pictures without a zoom lens, despite our prime location of about three feet beyond the boundary lines. I was, however, able to capture an amazing save by Carman Ainsworth near the end of the game. The angle isn’t the greatest, but thanks to the power of burst mode on the camera, I have compiled an epic panorama through the seconds of the save.

There are two lessons you can take from this: first, bring a zoom lens, and, second, sports pictures where the players move a few feet in each frame are wildly addicting, even without a good angle or powerful zoom.
