Yes, a monopod seems like a good shout. I really hadn't anticipated it being this big

Well today I took delivery of a sigma 120-300 f/2.8 sport and boy is it big, I am strangely nervous about shooting with it.

I'm looking for one without much joy at the moment. I've seen one on MPB with the same fault as yours, do you mind sharing how much the repair is? Though not sure if buying a faulty lens is a good idea.

Thanks Duncan, I have actually been reading your past posts and advice on shooting hockey, which has been a great help. I took up some different pitch positions last week and I have been focusing more on the keeper trying to anticipate the save, especially at the short corners rather than the...

Thank you for the great advice and to those that concurred with you. The second hand Sigma 300/2.8 I had seen was sold by the time I had plucked up the courage to buy it, so I it looks like it has done me a favour. The Sigma 120-300/2.8 sounds perfect for my current needs, especially after...

Thanks again for the advice, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the feedback all, it's as I thought. I shoot with a Nikon, and I have found a Sigma 300mm lens f/2.8 which I can afford on MPB. Its an older lens but fingers crossed it will work for me. The Nikon 200-400 f4 is a newer lens and I would love the range, but it wouldn't give me the...

I mainly shoot Hockey and Rugby at my local grassroots club, and I'm wondering if I should invest in a 2nd hand 300mm f2.8 lens or look at an alternative 200-400mm f4? I do love the look of the shots with the higher f-stop with blurred backgrounds, but I am wondering if those that have this...

Love it, though my initial thoughts were in line with your own about the ball :thumbs:

Ok great. Thanks for replying. I like how you can see photos without going into each post on the mobile app, but thought I was missing things [emoji4]

When looking at this post on my phone I see the above picture, but not in the thread. Anyone know why this is?

:agree: First my favourite

Beautiful photo, and has to be colour for me. Though, I would like to try and bring her freckles out a bit more, like your edit 037 on your flickr account.

Love the 2nd shot, as yet get all the photos now you can. Mine are 10 & 6 and either hide or full on pose, so trying to get anything natural looking is really difficult.
