Some football pics from the weekend

[brad mole]

Im just new on this forum and thought id introduce myself here with my latest set of pictures.
On the weekend i went up to Scotland to watch Hearts play Hull in a friendly game, i took the camera even though i knew i would probably not be allowed to use it, i managed to get a few snaps before they told me i wasnt allowed lol.
It was harder than i thought to get clear pics, almost every pic came out blurred but the zoom was better than i expected, heres the best ones that ive edited slightly (maybe a little too much on some pics), i know they arent streight, and most dont really aim at anything in particular but i was just getting used to it for the first time, i think that being at ground level would definitly improve the pics, but its not too bad where i was really.
comments welcome.

Hi Brad welcome to the forum , the ball really needs to be in the picture with some sort of action ,I understand these are taken from the stand , but backs of players really do not work , if you want to take pictures at football go to your local park/football ground , the grass routes of football can be a good place to start, look forward to so more shots from you Gary

What lens did you use for these?

 

[brad mole]

none of the pics are HDR, i have changed the shaddows and highlights to make them look like HDR,
the lens i used was a nikon nikkor 70-300mm f/4~f/5.6 G whatever that means lol
