Excellent set, in particular from the fourth image onwards.
Guts and glory, grit and determination. Very well captured…

You have caught the action very well and the expressions are great, nice dof and colours.
What lens were you using ?

Mick,

I was using a Canon EF 300 F2.8 + EF 1.4 II Extender F5.6 attached to a Canon EOS 1D Mark III

I was kneeling at the Hogan Stand and Canal End corner about 5 metres in from the touch line.

Regards,
Conor

Really nice shots! Happy with the camera? Any sign of these AF issues folks don’t like to talk about at parties?

Merv,

Actually I focused on the crowd in the background just to make sure the players were in focus.

The 1D3 is perfect for Irish climate as the reported focusing issues only arise when the sun shine. :-)

Conor

Conor, Brilliant series of shots I like the first and the last of sherlock, don’t know if its here comes the ball or sh*t he’s caught me that is a scary looking man. You got a hell of a match in that one.
