Salisbury v York

Much too cold for this sort of thing but hey

Salisbury went up in the 40th minute thanks to an hilarious goalkeeping error from Ingham (went to clear and mishit leaving the ball rolling towrdas the net for a salisbury player to tap in ). York equalised in the second half though

Anyway, here's the substandard pics (I've never done a floodlit football match before lol )

Good job, not easy shooting in that light.
As a side note I was on track to play for Salisbury many moons ago. I was a Midfielder for Andover town youth team, Salisbury was the next step as was the southampton youth team, thanks to my form tutor being a former southampton player and talent scout. Unfortunatly I grew less and less interested in playing and then moved to Bristol.

Game got so intense in the last one the guy s#*t himself.

Yeah I was going to ask what the hell happened in that last pic, everyone is bending over and one has skid marks  ;D

Looks like you had some good seats close to the action for some fine pictures

Now that's something I want to try one day, but never got around to. Did you use the 100-400L?

I agree there's a bit room for improvement (looks like the shuttertime was to long, but the exposure is excellent!), but I like the actionshots a lot, because they do have the atmosphere of a match! Well done!

Yeah....all with the 100-400....

I couldn't improve the shutter speed....they were all at 1600 ISO and at f4-5.6 (depending on length)

Not bad Mic. I've tried several times & know how difficult it is to get decent photos under these conditions. To have any chance of success I think I would need far better quality lenses than I can afford.

[Mictheslik]

Yeah, I think an f2.8 would have been handy

The press guy just in front of me had a 400mm f2.8 and a 70-200 f2.8 both on 1Ds MkIIIs.....so that's how they do it

Nice pics, Mic. Boring game though...

Coming from someone from a country where it takes about half a day to play a "football" game consisting of four quarters of 15 minutes! (although I admit I did find the re-run on ESPN Classic of the 1988 Oklahoma v Oklahoma State College game quite riveting on Friday!)

On the plus side Mic, at least that man Ingham sounds well qualified for the England number 1 shirt.
