So typical I am often in the wrong position in this case wrong baseline to get really great photo of their faces.
Nikon D3s 70-200mm f2.8 - 1/800 sec, f2.8, iso 8,000

Those would have been awesome. It does happen all the time to me. My most positioning screwup is in football. I went to a lot of games where I would think ok I am going to the end zone after this play. Dummy, they would score a touchdown and I would miss it all. As time went on I have been doing better but still have been caught a few times. keep posting. Thanks

I used to take a lot of soccer pics and of course I was always out of position for something. I learned to choose a spot and stay put for 15 to 20 minutes at a time. Sure, I missed some good shots but you can’t be everywhere. If you shoot a lot of games it balances out.

Thanks for the comments Feedback.
Now @ age 80 I have resolved Myself to pick as good of a location as possible, and wait for the plays to come my way.
In Basketball I forget to think what side of the court to settle on...I try to get on the side where I am facing right handed shooters since most kids are right handed or shoot right handed. Too often I get a decent photo but the back side of the players.
I have learned to go thru a little check list, position, check my camera settings, make sure battery is charged. The other night I had set my camera to single shot "focus only"...and began to take action photos...kept thinking why does shutter not working ha...Then realized I needed to set on Continuous focus mode with shutter speed fast for action photos.
A very Happy, Blessed New Year, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity to everyone.
