Our twin 15 year olds helping their team to its 5th straight win this season.
4 more games to go after the Christmas break.
C and C's welcome

[Desertraptor]

Are you sure they were helping? Which side were they on? :o

Kidding I bet these are shot's they'd like to forget. Awesome all the same.

[jforj143]

Thanks Desertraptor.
our boys are the wicketkeeper and the bowler

[Desertraptor]

then that's good :) You didnt specify which was them :)

Oh and instead of forget in that case framed and on the wall :)

could be nice shots but should show faces more.

Maybe it's the early morning, but the first one seems a litle out of focus.The second one is better, but might have worked more from the batsman's side, I am very keen to see a pic of the face of the bowler, he looks happy about taking the wicket.

Great timing... I know from personal experience how hard it is to get the 'holy grail' shot of the bails flying through the air.

The first shot looks a tadge soft, and the second capture seems a little underexposed to me. With cricket it is possible to pre-focus if you're shooting the batsman which can prevent the camera from focusing elsewhere by mistake - also, it's a good idea to use a manual exposure reading *using the grass as a basis) so that the players' whites don't fool the camera's meter into underexposure.

I'm impressed by your timing though and you must be proud of your kids! Can't wait for the cricket season to start again in England! :lol:

I've just posted some thoughts on cricket photography over in my Q&A thread if they're of interest: http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=116971&page=12 (post #175)

It is in the morning Daryn and I agree the first one is OOF.
This next one was taken just after the wicket had fallen.
Thank you all for your comments I am learning more every time I go out.

future twin players for Oz maybe (well weve had twins before) Lot o cricket is played down here in Albany (west aust) and these shots make me want to venture out and get a few myself :-)
