    Closely cropped, great depth of field focuses the eyes on the action. LOTS of faces and expressions. Great!
    Is this sport supposed to be fun?

    Great set, this is perhaps a little advanced for my under 8s, who have just got rid of the tags and are learning the difference between a ruck and a maul for next season. It's interesting to see when you can use your hands. can you show any use of the the studs...rolleyes1.gifroflrolleyes1.gif

    I saw, the short sleeves and nylon are a give away.

    We will spend the summer bringing them up to speed on the merits of full contact.... they are learning but I don't think your high tackle shot or the closed hand tackle will set them a good example :D

    I cannot post shots though but the tag was always good for a laugh.

    When we look at these excellent pictures we may think it's an easy work.
    No, it is not. To realize the difficulty one must try ...
    Good photos of action and sharp lens.

    You mean the Canon 70~200 f/2.8L IS ?
    The problem is the weight.
    Last time I was carrying 6,5 kg of equipment.
    It is too much.
    The L lens are very heavy... ne_nau.gif
