Now quick talk about Gear! Its the only hope this thread has for salvation!

I like this one, Wish it was a bit tighter crop, but I love the look the 2 players have that are squaring off.
>> Rad !!IpQSryGvPPO
Sport shots are hard but I think these ones came out pretty well.

I really like>>206451but it would've been better if the guy with the red hair's face wasn't blocked out.

Saturation is awkwardly low compared to the others. Possibly a bit too much sky going, but I don't know if this is cropped or not. Cropped further would cut out the other players.

>>206445

The look on the guy in green just left of center is great.

>>206448

This is really good. The player running with the ball and the other two that missed their tackles.

>>206451

A little awkward because the guy behind the running almost looks like he is tripping, but still a good shot.

lineouts are interesting to shoot right as the ball goes through the tunnel

also if youre not focusing on a specific person [the next 3 photos have the same subject] some cool things to focus on shooting are the kicks, the moment before catching a kick off, and watching flankers make plays

I did get a lot of those shots, but they were not originals at all.. as i'm not a sports phographer (well, not orientated to anything atm) i wanted to seek for photos that were action ones, not the regular stuff. Thanks for comment.

Rugby. Only shot it once, but I did pretty well. Good stuff, but I guess you stuck with some auto modes because you were afraid of the action moving too fast?

Also, this is a little too flat for me. Sometimes /p/ is wrong and having colors that jump out at you can be good (might be fucked up, I haven't fixed my color profile).

bumping this thread with actual photos

It's really not hard for anyone to get a good lens, a good body, focus, and shoot some high shutter speeds at footballers. The only picture that shows you actually thinking about the photo instead of just looking and capturing the action, is the first picture. The composition is interesting due to the large amount of clouds which contrasts with the players. On the bottom of the picture, however, are some awkwardly just-in-sight buildings and trees. It would've been better to lower and aim higher, to avoid these. Personally, I would've cropped a little more off the top, making it a little more balanced.
Also, I see no point in your post-processing. What's the point in making it half-saturated? It doesn't add anything to the picture for me. It's not due to something being wrong with the original's colors, I'm guessing, because those look fine in the other pictures you've posted.

Ok, let's see your shots then.
I am not a professional, just trying to take some nice pictures.
If you think you are so much better then by all means post some of your own so we can see.

It's always pathetic to see someone come here specifically for c&c and then get massive butthurt when they do get it. Resorting to the "NO U" defence is about as low as you can get.

Sage for butthurt. Don't ask for them if you don't want comments.

This one is the best. It's even a great pic! :)

What AF mode did you shot the other ones?
