p.1 #1 · Tea, cucumber biscuits, and cricket ?

This weekend's installment

I shot a bit looser today to give room for the player.

Do you think the whole bat needs to be in the frame ?

Thanks for sharing this very nice set Kiwi. I'm no expert, but the PP looks nicer/cleaner to my eyes - nice job.

Regards

Kiwi,

Can you tell me approx what sort of distance you were from the subjects in these shots ?

I have tried taking cricket shots myself (adults, not kids) and seem to get stuck between my lens choices (either 400 5.6 which doesnt give me a lot of background seperation or 70-200 2.8 which gives me a nice wide aperture but not enough length - both of a 40D)

P.S. I like the shots

Im using a 400 2.8 with a 1.7TC here on a full frame sensor, so, 680mm. That first shot is full frame to give you an idea

It's only a small field, prob 1/2 full size so I am I guess 40m away at the most

Captured peek action and great expressions. Colors and sharpness are to envy. Really enjoyed them. Rick
