Football Soccer, Not Just 90 Minutes
For some photographers, photographing an action at a soccer match is something very interesting. The football players’ energetic and dynamic moves, plus their supporters’ magical encouraging cries, tease photographers during the game.
Twenty two players are in the game, fighting for their victory on the field. The game lasts at least 90 minutes that is divided into two halves. Thus, photographers need a particular preparation and skill to capture.
The first step after knowing what team against what, is to decide where they will take the shots. Though it is a trifle, sometimes it becomes a deciding factor to succeed. They who use 70-200mm zoom lens usually take a position between the corner and goal.
While, 300mm is used by those who stand almost at the corner. This trick is necessary due to maximizing pictures –based on each lens’ capability though. 90-Minute Period In a close examination, the series of event that happen in a particular soccer match is almost similar to the others. Started with a small group of people gathering, thousands of supporters and spectators will be then fulfilling the stadium.
Next, the first half will last for 45 minutes, 15-20 minutes break, and then the second half will last for 45 minutes too. For a special case, there will be an extra time that lasts for 2×15 minutes. Moreover, a penalty shootout will be performed until one of the teams wins. Some photographers are keen of taking moments during the game, which lasts for 2×45 minutes.
And yes indeed, in that period of time, both of the teams will fight to death to be the best. They will push themselves to the limit, both individually and collectively. Most photographers make their shots during those 90 minutes. The climax of the “drama” (“drama” refers to the best shot) most often is taken when the match is still occurring. However, sometimes the real “drama” happens not in the match before or after.
Not in the Match In some ways, I find my best shots not during the game. Like when I was hunting in Asian Cup held in Jakarta some time ago, there were some photos taken not in the match, or outside 2×45 minutes episode a police officer attempting to save a child trapped at the stadium entrance when the spectators are queuing; the captain of Indonesian football team, Ponaryo Astaman, dazing on a dove flying low on the field, with a red and white (the color of Indonesia’s national flag) ribbon on its foot; or, when one of the Indonesian football players, Mahyadi Panggabean, being carried on a stretcher by the medic because he was injured.
I think I could feel more sensation through those “dramas” than I could ever feel during the match itself.
In another occasion, the phenomenon of violence that occurs during most of Indonesia’s football matches, though sometimes embarrassing or loathsome, can always become a very intriguing scene for photographers.
However, to choose which shot that is qualified to be the climax of “drama” of each football match is something that winds up in each photographer’s personal taste. For that reason, the purpose of this essay is just to open up our mind that photographing a football match means “not just 90 minutes or 2×45 minutes.”
