These are from a Canadian Football League game. I haven't shot a game in 6 years and felt a little rusty. I was happy with the results. All shot with a 300 2.8 Canon 1D mkll.

I like them especially number 2

Well thought composition, technically perfect with no micro-blur of any sort, great colors (maybe excluding 6 which looks a little veiled for some reason).

Great job!

I may have bumped into you on the field Saturday! I work the Stamps games, and for the past 3 years worked the Lions Games at BC place. Are you there every game?

I'm from Ottawa, was in town shooting another assignment and called the Stamps about getting a pass for the game. This was a one off game for me, I'll be back down to Montreal for my games. I was the Renegades team photographer for three years.

Very nice set! I like how you captured the fumble in #5, and how the QB seem to be throwing into the camera in the two you posted...

Pretty danged good football moments! Good capture on that fumble. I bet that Stampeder safety's coach reams him for that lousy form on his tackle of #85...geebus...head behind the ball carrier..high...arm tackle-city...

I loved the CFL back in the 1970's...we used to get a whole SLATE of games here in the states, clear thru to the 'Cup. Miss those days.

You don't look rusty to me. Very well done.
I think they could use a slight boost to exposure/brightness, but it's tough with those darned bright white jerseys.

#3, #4 and #5 are my favs.

Thanks for the comments. The screen on my laptop is really bright. I have had some clients ask why some images are a little dark, working in the dark doesn't help either.
