Sports photography....

....not as easy as I thought.  I went to watch my niece's son play soccer, 7 year olds.  I think bird photography is easier.  I would be following her son, as in shot above, and he kicks in a goal and someone else steps or runs into the frame.  Lots of fast action, and a good challenge for me to learn something new.  I will try to get out to another game and have another go at it.
