    Cricket

    Not seen to much Cricket action on this forum lately,So thought I'd put some on.
    This has never been my favorite sport but starting to appreciate the game a bit more, think a bigger lens might help wonder if Colin C has a 500mm f4 going spare

    Re: Cricket

    Some great action shots and I like the last one most.

    I'd love to help with the 500mm, but it's rather busy at the moment.

      Some good action Paul and I like the fact you have got the ball in most shots and it is sharp

        I do like a game of cricket. Pity the tests aren't on free to air anymore.

        Nice photos and thanks for sharing.

            Nice action shots I had to cover a local match myself and its not easy to get the images you want.

            There will be times when you will be in the field without a camera. And, you will see the most glorious sunset or the most beautiful scene that you have ever witnessed. Don't be bitter because you can't record it. Sit down, drink it in, and enjoy it for what it is!

              Many thanks for your comments,

              This was only my 3rd cricket game I've ever taken so still a bit to learn about the game,But do find you can get some majestic images at times,either from the bats man or the bowlers in full flow.It's just in the timing weather you manage to get the cricket ball in the shot and just as important, in the right position too !! ( if that makes sense )

                Would you believe we have a cricket pitch in the village, I might just have to have a try...

                Mind you, the only thing I remember about watching cricket, is the pop from the pavillon and the sandwiches if you were lucky.

                  Just go along and give it a try,Need a big telephoto lens to get close to the batsman but there's always the fielders even the spectators can be interesting to capture,If you have the EF-S 55-250mm lens then you should be fine, although the EF 100- 400mm would be A lot better.
