Thanks for viewing
 
cracking set, how do you like that Sigma?
 
Yes some very good shots there. Close in on the action with some great facial expressions, and the ball is in view for most shots. The action is sharp and in focus apart from #3, which seems very slightly soft.

The rain and the mud flying adds to the grittiness of the action. I wonder if a mono conversion on the ones where it is raining might work? I'd be tempted to try I think if these were mine.



Thanks for sharing.

IMHO the sigma is great, good range light enough to hand hold and be mobile if needed but I use a monopod for cricket. Only think i dont like is the lens hood poor fitting from day 1, and cant use lens cover with it attached, you get a good paaded bag with the lens though.

Really good set of images - some great expressions there and I love the freezing of the rain as well as the action.

Who was playing by the way?
