Been a while since my last post (expect the 'Honest Comment - thread).
And I spent a week in Wales photographing the Finnish Women's national team, and the two friendly games against Wales.
I can say that even if traveling abroad can be great, it does feel very much like work - especially with a hectic schedule of two games in three days. Plus then the flights and other travel on top of that.
Saying that, I did have a great time and the Welsh were great hosts... looking forward to returning there in March with the Men's team.
But, here are few of the better action shots from the two games. One played at 7.30pm and the otehr at 1.30pm. So got to experience the different lighting conditions. Actually preferred the flood lights....
Any comments and improvement suggestions are welcome as always!!

Now, is that a hand ball???

This was a totally 'lucky shot' - it was 16 seconds from the start of the second half. I was still my way to the touchline.. behind the goal and just swung the camera and pressed the shutter. Considering that, the focus is darn good... and yes, it was a goal.

Now you know why so many Finnish sporting personalities always get the nick name 'Flying Finn'

Tackle by the touchline..

From this one I caught a nice series of about 6 shots.. from the beginning to getting up. Just thought as a single image, this worked the best.

Going out... or not??
