Cricket: Accountants v Solicitors!

[Joe T]

So, my first time shooting cricket and here are the results! Thanks to all who gave advice in my other thread

More here.

I wasnt able to stay very long, so the variety of shots and players isnt great!

C&C to help me improve please, but go easy as it was my first go!

A nice set of images, and the ball in every shot too

Fine work mate, I'm liking the last shots in both sets. The first last has some perspective type info in it, coupled with the action, works great for me. The last of the second set is kinda class looking, great mood and so simple, my fave I think.

Id get rid of the dark hedge bit somehow ...crop it. :shrug:

Great set of shots Joe, much better than my first efforts last weekend, nicely exposed and some great action. No need to go easy, you did good as far as I am concerned

 

[Ladybird]

Nice ones there Joe! x x x x x x x x x

 

[RobertP]

They look a lot younger and fitter than the lot that play on my local green!

Nice sharp pictures but where's the bowler and who won?

 

[busterboy]

Nice images Joe, I would think its a hard subject to shoot to get the ball/bat in shot but you have done well..

 

[Joe T]

Thank you for the kind words everyone.

Anyone got any tips for next time? Thanks.

They look good from where I am sitting Joe
Nice set

 

[Forbiddenbiker]

Maybe use a wider view Joe…go for loads of dof, and shoot with perspective .. both wickets in focus/or play with dof a bit on the rear wicket, type thing.

…a nice high speed shot of the ball catching the bales would be nice too please.

Thank you for the kind words everyone.

Some nice shots Joe... although the light looks as dull as ditchwater unfortunatly, and I like to see tighter crops on some of them, and the Horizon needs straightening in the first 3
cheers Chris

Hi,

Nice shots, not tried to cover a cricket match yet but seeing the one or two threads of shots like these makes me want to try.

Was this the game where there were irregularities in the scoring

Nice work Joe - i must have missed your first efforts.

I would suggest that you aim to have the ball closer to the bat though and ramp up the shutter speed slightly. I think, having seen the quality of your focussing, you can afford to stop down a couple of stops too - very impressed. You'll get into the rythmn of the game soon

Hee hee... nice one!

As with RobertP, perhaps a full-on shot of the bowler in mid-air as he's about to unleash a fast ball, the concentration in his face should make a good image.

Thanks for the comments guys - I will try to take them on board!
