Here's some shots from a recent game with amazing indoor lighting, I even used my f/4L for these and got between 1/400 and 1/500 at ISO 1600. The game of course is netball. I haven't sifted through all of my shots yet, these are only from the first half of the match. C&C very appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Yep Ross the letters, also known as "bibs" are interchangeable and actually held on with velcro so if the player changes positions they also change bibs and just like numbers in some sports, they indicate the position the player is playing. So for example from the pictures #1 - WD - Wing Defence #2 - GS - Goal Shooter #3 - GA - Goal Attack #6 - WA - Wing Attack and so on.

Butcha, I'm really impressed with these! You've dealt with the lighting really well and the focus is spot on! Great series.

No 6 does it for me. Really shows how hard the sport is. Nice work in all of them.

Thanks Kenny, It's about the 4th top level game I's shot and I think I'm finally getting the hang of it! Thanks again.

Thanks Pete, it is a very fast, physical and skillful game, it always surprises me that it isn't more popular.
