video with Canon 5d mark 2: awesome soccer skill - singing while training!
Our last soccer training visit of South Africa last week and we were lucky enough to visit 2 very different soccer teams to photograph their training.
The first, the older team, the Paballelo Chiefs. The club began in 1972 by a group of young unemployed men seeking to occupy their time by doing what they do best, play soccer. Since then the team has had great success and for the first time we photographed a team training at an actual soccer stadium with standard training equipment.

In this last week of our trip we were beginning to get a little tired of photographing soccer training, however the training never failed to inspire photography from us as each session was different and energizing.
With equipment set up in an obstacle course of soccer sorts the players were given a hectic workout, and i got very excited down on one shoulder in the grass to get this jumping shot just right, and hopefully not get my head squashed in the process!
A couple of team photos followed and we said our farewells, moving right next door to a large dirt field where another team were about to commence their training.
This was again back to Gino’s historical field to give him the photos from the previous week and hear how they went at the first match of the season on the weekend, they’d won!

This time we wanted to video some of his team’s training as we’d been impressed the week before by the sight and sound of their drills which involved singing as they practiced their footwork!
Using the video function of our Canon 5d we managed to get some footage of the training, as well as an interview with the 2 owners and a player, very cool high definition video!
