Now that I've retired from rugby I can now go along to my teams home games and take some photos! This is a selection from Saturday this time shot with a 300mm lens instead of a 50 lol.

 

Nice action shots!

 

I like the shallow DoF. Reduces the background distractions.

I have not shot rugby, yet.

 

Thanks Brent,

Guess the advantage I have over Joe Public is I know the players, the team moves so who, when and where to point.

 

Thanks Tirediron,

Seeing all the action goofy faces the players pull is a hoot.

 

Thanks, I experimented between f/4.5 - f/6.3 to see how it looked.

 

Cracking set of shots Mark.

 

Thanks Dave!

 

Cool shots Mark! You've got some good expressions on the players faces there. Knowing the game looks like it helped a lot. Rugby is a great game anyway.

 

Thanks weepete,

Played with these guys for many years, I so i knew when to fire off a few shots. This is only 6/91 shots, plenty more funny faces in the others. Can attend 3 more games so hopefully I can improve on the ones I took on Saturday!

 

Excellent action shots...........
