Women’s Soccer Inspired Me To Learn How To Use My DSLR

As the love of women’s soccer increased in this country, so did my knowledge and experience with photography.

On July 27th, 2014, I attended my first National Women’s Soccer League [NWSL] game at Memorial Stadium, home of Seattle Reign FC. They faced their rival, Portland Thorns FC. Tickets were $24 dollars, which I picked up the day of the game. Because it was my first time, I came early in case there was some ‘protocol’. It turned out I could sit anywhere I chose so I went to the front of the stands, but not the very first row. I brought my camera with me because I figured, this is my chance to see some incredibly big stars between both teams. I was even more starstruck at the fact I could watch all these players so close to the field.
