So it was time to learn how to photograph a sports event. So took my camera and lenses down to a local football match.

The light progressively got worse as the game went on but the camera and lens i think have done a pretty good result?

I'd appreciate any C&C - like i said first time i've tried this and using fast shutter speeds since i got my DSLR :)

Oh and apologies for the amount :shake:

Some good shots there. Like the last one, the look on the 'whites' face. You done a bit better than i did at my first game. I look forward to seeing some more.

In general I like them, but number 4 is great. Really like the idea. What camera & lens was used? Can I also ask, what shutter speeds and apertures did you use towards the end of the game when the light was worst?

40d + 70-200 2.8 IS

At the start of the game i could use silly shutter speeds as the light was good 1000+ f/2.8 ISO 100

As the game went on i had to go to 800 f/2.8 ISO 800-1000
