Sheffield Tigers V Huddersfield Rugby

P-E · 11-09-2007, 09:39

Well it was a sporty weekend for me and as well as the Great Yorkshire Run on the Sunday I did the Rugby match between Sheffield Tigers 2nd team and Huddersfield on the Saturday

My first try at sports and the 2nd time out with the 300mm prime

Having chosen to sit behind the Huddersfield goal anticipating an avalanche of Sheffield tries

they converted one penalty

losing the match 3-7........even missed the punch up in the other half

TFL Ian.

Some great action shots there Ian, Nice lens as well.

Like the kicker top and the ball at the bottom, all good action shots.

Cheers Gary. Was hoping for a bit more close up action but everything seemed to happen at the other end.....yes it's a nice piece of glass

Thanks Boofers

Again I'm left wondering about the colour of the grass in 1 & 4

and some of the others I've edited........the sun was in and out, been a general nuisance so maybe thats the colour it was

Great set of shots amazing shooting to get the ball like that in the last.

P-E · 11-09-2007, 22:46

LOL. Ken I reckon the AF was fooled as I don't remember focusing on the ball like that

Well I was going to mention if you had intended that but thought because you had posted it, it must have been deliberate. Cheeky to think otherwise

**Markulous** · 12-09-2007, 09:38

Yeah, #1 and #3 for me - and the last, of course!

When you work out how to correct the colour (and I'm not sure it needs it, TBH) can you let me know the secret?! Once I start down the "tweak the grass colour" route I tend to get further and further from reality! Same can go for water!

Well whichever way I try to edit the greens they look far worse than what I've posted so I will leave as is I think

I use Magne profiles in Capture One which is supposed to give (particularly with greens) a very good colour profile.
