Set out this morning to get some shots of a game going on somewhere. I finally found this flag football game going on nearby.

Here's one I took...cropped, levels maybe a few others...



All comments/suggestions good and bad are GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!

hrmm I guess it must not suck that bad or people woulda told me it sucks. and it must not be that great or everyone would chime in say they loved it...must just be middle of the road.

I like it. You "froze" the action well. Pretty good sharpness. Maybe the whites are a little washed out but not bad.

Hey Dave,
It isn't a bad shot at all. The face is a bit overexposed but that is hard to avoid sometimes. I may have tried for a tighter crop from the waist up or maybe leave it as is. I personally hate shooting flag football. You do get the emotions on the players' faces better but I love full contact. Not sure if you have a rugby league or team where you live but that makes for some great shots as well.

Thanks a lot for the comments.

I guess when shooting sports it's really all about being able to follow the game. This flag football game was probably the fastest paced game I've ever watched so I had a hard time.

As far as rugby, that *is* the field where they play rugby. I actually set out to catch a rugby game -- but instead there were two flag football games going on.

I've only shot two sporting events thus far and the last was a rugby game with my s3100 and REALLY low light so none of them really turned out well. And I was using a tripod whereas now I picked up a nice little monopod which makes pointing somewhere else, obviously, a lot easier.

Again, thanks.
