Hi all

I've been asked to take my sons football(soccer) team photo at the weekend and I'm wanting to know a few tips that would improve my basic knowledge of photography around an image like this, which metering mode etc, I'm thing centre weight am I right?

Also how to get a good exposure on the day, I know this is weather dependent but chances are it will be over cast or raining because I'm in England


My camera is a bobby basic Canon 1100D and my lens i'll be using is Canon 18-135mm F/3.5-5.6 EF-S or I have the 18-55mm that came with the camera, whuch do you think will be best?

Any tips or advice appreciated
