 I shot this at Telstra Dome Melbourne while my team (Hawthorn - in Brown and Gold colours) was getting soundly beaten. I was 200 metres away from this 'mark'.

The stadium has a roof and although it was daytime, this was under stadium lighting.

I had to shoot at 1600ASA and I hand held my 2kg Sigma (Bigma) 50-500mm lens for the shot.

Luke is a young player and a great oerhead mark (catcher).

I wasn't happy with the sharpness, so I went creative with the Black and White/Colour to really bring the action out front.
