Girv n Frenchie (final game at Donnybrooke)

Some things to watch out for:
1. Cropping off body pieces. You’ve sacrificed their ankles and feet and yet given us field above their heads. I’d rather have a whole body instead
2. The shot is slightly soft. There’s no exif information so it’s hard to know the cause (poor quality optics, camera shake, poor choice of shutter speed?? etc)
3. It’s critical we expose our photos correctly. The guy’s arm is completely blown and all detail is lost. You could have done with at least a stop less on the exposure.
4. Shots of peoples backs seldom work.. I’m afraid this one falls into this categoryThanks for the feedback. A bit more composure required on the framing then, less panic aout the head of the person in frotn of me.
It’s shot with Leica D-Lux 3 (which I’m giving a go as an alternative to lugging an SLR around), 1/200s at ISO400 as I was trying the shoot the game and this shot just happened right in front of where I was sat. First time I’ve used this camera at anything but ISO100 and there’s a lot of noise. Most of the other shots freeze the players alright but the noise makes them unusable.
(the blown arm isn’t helped by a little overexuberance in Photoshop as well)
I think the head in front of you would have ruined the shot more than the amputated ankles ;) But that said careful framing and controlled exburance in PS go a long way :)
should have just framed it and waited for a clear shot I guess.
I’ve another of the player breaking the last tackle for a try with a half decent crowd reaction behind, but it’s ruined because the lad in fornt of me stood up to let someone past. (lesson 1, if you’re going to try and take photos at a game don’t get that last pint in, get there early enough to sit on the front row!)
