A bit of American Football

A few from today - first football since last Nov. Far to cold to be shooting in and one of the downsides of last years operations on my chest is that I really feel the cold in my chest now - felt like my nipple was going to fall off, so did a bunk at half time!!!

All shot on the Mark III with a Canon 300mm F2.8L lens.

Re: A bit of American Football

Nice set of pics as usual Pete, my favourite is actually the no-action one, no.4, what len were you using for that ?

Have still got to upgrade my kit but looking to change my car at present so have had to put it on the back burner.

Re: A bit of American Football

Yep - I like the off-action shots as well. Very nice altogether especially considering the flat light. Top lens too!

Very apt considering the Superbowl is tonight
Stunning shots every one, you almost feel as if you could be in the action. Silky silky shots
