Of that lot, what was the most difficult to get good shots? I'd imagine swimming is pretty tricky to get action shots:shrug:

Done swimmin a couple of times and have to say the only hard bit is the same for any indoor sport ie the lighting..

Hardest to get a picture was SQUASH.. he only place i could shoot from was high up behind the subjects (I htink thats the same for anyone?).. very rarely did i see there faces then you had to be quick.. even quicker if you wanted a good action shot with ball in picture.. The one I least like to shoot is American football.. they spend more time talking than playing..

I have to confess to being a big fan, I played a bit when younger and I'd love to shoot a pro match in the States. I've only done it once here when I came across a game unexpectedly and had 20 minutes or so at it before having to pad up for my cricket innings on the next field:). I will give it another go next season.

I like american football for that reason, you get time between plays so you can always move into position for the chance of a good shot. There's no slack time while play is at the other end of the field.
I tried working the same way the first time I shot rugby league, didn't work.....

I haven't googled it (yet) but is Boccia some kind of tennis like game that originates from the medditeranian?
 
ha! Someone will google it then post saying they knew all along :)


The game of Boccia (pronounced ‘Bot-cha’) originated in Greece, where players threw large stones at a stone target. Its name is derived from the Latin word for ball – bottia.

It was originally designed for people with severe cerebral palsy but is now enjoyed by players from many sectors of the community. In 1984 it became a Paralympic sport, and is being practiced in over 50 countries worldwide, from a purely recreational level to a variety of competitive events.
 
Isnt Botcha gay hide and seek :exit:

We used to play boccia as a kid never really knew it had a name but the large stone was usually a house and the main target were the glass bits. ;)
 
Well the boccia was amazing... not so much the sport but I ahd a great rewarding couple of hrs....sports hall full of primary school disabled children playing what can only be described as bowls.. but you can chuck lob toss or roll the ball.. I am doing the pics now and for once enjoying the PP .. The one stand out thing is... everyone is so happy.. I do a lot of kids sport and never seen so many happy faces :)

Probably the nicest days "work" I did was a riding for the disabled day, the participants (with various disabilities both physical and mental) were all happy and smiling as were ther helpers. They were fun to be around and I probably got asked to take as many pictures of them off the horses than on them!
