Hi Dal....hows it going mate....
Like the fact you have ventured into sports...I nearly did a football match today but dad took the telephoto so didnt have the equipment...
I like 3 the best...i'm not sure why....I think a little wider would have done the shot wonders though as it looks like the player is looking into the direction the scrum is...but still good stuff..
I like them all but all I would say is they seem a bit static...I'm not a great rugby fan but were there any chances to get players running and others catching up or being left for dead...
Overall mate great stuff and full marks for covering a new aspect....
How do you fancy doing a football match with me soon?
Regards
AJ
Not bad attempts for your first shots. Rugby can be quite hard to photograph but yours shots are mostly quite sharp. But you now need to get some good action shots. If you don't know much about rugby, try and follow the ball, watch the back of the scrum to see where the scrum half will pass and try and get the backs running through. If you can go along to a training session one evening, watch the backs and try and learn their calls. You might also learn each players special moves. My husband's speciality (as a centre) is a crash ball, so when he gets the ball he tends to run through the defence which makes for pretty good action shots. But there's all sorts of moves that each team has which after a while you'll be able to pick up and work out where the ball is moving to.
I'll stick some on from last week
The main downside i had with this shoot was that i know nothing about rubgy so didnt know where to shoot. the weather was horrible and the crowd moves along with the play so people kept getting in the way lol.
