A request from the club 'can I do more portrait shape pics so they can find suitable ones for the poster?'. I have to say I've struggled with rotating the camera mid-action, even more now that with the 1D the viewfinder is much lower when rotated and feels off balance. I dislike portrait shape pics as I often end up cropping hands and feet. Since the 70-200 means they have to be fairly close or closing, can anyone offer any advice about focus point, best way to compose? I used to just crop a portrait from the 50D 15mp but that's going to be harder with the 10mp 1D.
Also, on a side note, one of the directors pointed out a picture I'd taken of the Cup from the winners match last season, on a table in the middle of the pitch, filling the frame, and said 'the sponsors would have been happier if their ads has been in focus - talking about the wall hoardings around the edge of the stands. Holds breath, counts to ten. So, in addition to getting superb action shots, I now have to try and get the advertising in as well. Anything else, Sir?
