Seattle Sounders (MLS)

Been moving into professional sports for a small weekly paper in Seattle...I'll start posting shots as exclusivity contracts run out and I can begin to share them. First, a collage from game one:

As a huge soccer fan, I have seen much lower quality published everyday in major sports newspapers in Europe. Looks awesome Jer, can't wait to see more!

Excellent Jeremy! Looking forward to seeing more pro sports work from you.

Soccer fan or not (I lean towards not), those are great shots Jeremy. I love that you showed more than just the action on the field in the collage!

Thanks guys!

I wasn't either at first, but I'm quickly becoming a big fan.

Here's some more:

Wow ..... Fantastic set. It nice to see the spectators as well and how crazy some fans are with their face paint. One thing about sports photography, you can't be a spectator or you'll miss the money shot.

Third from the bottom, Mikael Silvestre tackling. Former Man United and Arsenal player... and one of my compatriots :tongue:

Again, LOVE this set.

This new set is awesome as well Jeremy, so many amazing moments captured perfectly!

And my first MLB game! Way harder to do well than I thought it would be.

These are really well done, Jeremy! Good job!

Nice footie shots! Colorful fans!

I bet those M's girls were begging for a photo with that sign!

Thanks everyone!

They were hoping for the TV guys...not some shmuck with a still camera, but they took what they could get :-)

Definitely not...especially, I'm learning, with MLB...it lulls you into not paying attention then wham! - major play out of nowhere! (or worse, line drive to the photo well - those scare the crap out of me). At least MLS the action is nearly constant so you're already always paying attention. But not so much baseball.

Nice job capturing the action Jeremy
