Nice work, Todd, on the soccer shot. It is sharp and has excellent shadow detail for shooting into the sun. Do you have a ball head on your monopod and if so, what brand is it? I have a monopod with just the simple screw thread but I have not used it in that fashion as it limits how one can angle the camera and also puts it in the landscape mode. I just shot more of our church's soccer league this morning. It was overcast and I used the Tamron 70-300mm in the sports mode and auto ISO. Typically the chutter speed was at 1/500 sec. and wide open or close to it. I shot over 350 images but have very few I would consider "keepers" (no family members are players .) I did most of the shooting between 70 and 150 mm. I have not found much use for the 300mm end of the lens so far for sports. Perhaps if I was in the stands I would use it more. Keep shooting! 8-)
