When we were leaving a meeting at the high school this evening, we noticed that a kids' soccer game was going on at the little field beside the school. It brought back memories. We were involved in youth soccer for years. Our girls played in a generally desultory manner, but our son was threw himself into it. My husband coached all their teams for over 15 years. It was fun to watch these young boys just starting out, with the teenaged ref teaching them the finer points of the game and the parents cheering them on. My little Nikon CoolPix P&S is not good in low light situations, so there were some degree of blur in all the shots. The Dry Brush filter (with just a touch of Posterize) takes advantage of the blur to play up the light and the action.

fun picture, so you are a true soccer mom? :) It almost looks like you added a lighting effect!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a soccer mom--even have a T-shirt to prove it.
ReplyDeleteI like the composition of this photo. I also think that the filtered version looks like you added lighting.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter would be envious. It seems she only plays and refs in torrential downpours. ;-)
