A new definition of uniform tugging

Ann McRae

glorious, sunny day. Just think this one is humorous - the player in white never flinched - just kept playing the ball.


good photos, good score. More to come.
my kid stopped a penalty shot.(not great photos of that, tho)

Good choice in DOF. Got rid of the background nicely.

Nice one Ann


It looks like a bit more than the ordinary uniform tug.....lol We used to call these xxxxxxxx fouls. xxxxxxxxx rhymes with technical, and are a part of the male anatomy

Great shot Ann! Nice job on the exposure, crop, and post work.

Now about that 'tug' :uhoh , you mean the ref didn't see it -lol.

BTW-are these taken with Andy's former 70-200?


Take care,

Mongrel

crazy tug
Thats nuts(as in crazy). Was that picture luck? or good time? Thats a nice shot, good job either way.

Thanks Ian. I try to follow the advice of a guy on another forum - always wide open. It is taking me a while to figure out the right combo of iso and shutter speed to work with when wide open, especially since the weather has been so variable. This particular game was perhaps the first I didn't have to deal with variable cloud or setting suns.

, Steve - they get more and more agressive each year. I guess it comes with the coming of testosterone!

Hi Mongrel
Well, no the ref did not call that. There is a whole series of these two going for that ball - about 5 shots in a row, and the little guy just does not let go of the shorts!

Very little post on these ones, some usm I think is all. Great sunshine means great shots.
And yes, this is with the 70 - 200 f2.8 L that I bought from andybay!!!

Thanks!
I think sports photography is both luck and good timing.....actually almost all photography is, isn't it?

I'm cringing.... not from the shot, but from the content...

Yeah, I am surprised there wasn't any kind of retaliation happening.
