With the Grand Finals last weekend, another season has come and gone.
A few shots from over the last couple of months in the Namoi Soccer League

Striker taken down by the keeper. Moree, August 09

Defender tries in vain to block a shot from the striker. Yes, the shot found the net. Gunnedah Aug. 09

Winners are grinners. And very wet. I had to get in & out quick to avoid getting sprayed with beer & champers myself.
Moree last weekend. White jerseys made things difficult all afternoon on a very warm day. 24mm F6.3 1/250 fill flash

These really do capture the action....I really like the first two as they really put you out there on the field. You have done really well to capture the moment with these.

What sort of focal lengths were you using?

Very nice action shots, the first one is fantastic.

Both were at less than 100mm. 24-105 F4L only. I sold my long glass a couple of years ago when I moved to the north west and do only a fraction of the sport i did in the past. I only do it now to help out the local league, but obviously still enjoy it. I don't chase the shots but wait for them to come to me, in and around the 18 yrd box.

Proves to show that you can get good shots without bazooka lenses!

Just less of them without a second body/lense
