A spot of action from the weekend for your perusal. Comments as always welcomed!

Something unusual for me... a game with a bit of a crowd and some thwunkage in the foreground...

Rising for the ball at 560mm...

A hockey ball really shouldn't be up that high...

I am surprised you don't have a bounty on your head man. That 3rd shot is just .... well...not very flattering. I've had more than a few beauties like that from gymnastics, but never field hockey. I am sure she won't be contacting you for a copy of that one for over the fireplace. But as usual, masterful stuff there amigo. Really nice shots of action at the club level... well done. Proves you don't need to have credentials to the top venues to get great shots - though it doesn't hurt either. But these are great. Cheers!

I've had a few of those on the 18-22 tennis girl shoots and it drives them crazy to see how their bodies look under high stress/G's. In fact, the reason I stopped shooting them was that they were more concerned with looking like princesses than winning with the result that they wanted any shot that didn't look like a Cosmo Cover pulled. Now no one covers them so they don't have to worry about it. :confused: Anyway, superb as always, Gavin!

Peak action takes many forms ;) Fortunately I don't rely on prints for core business... otherwise I'd be well stuffed!

As long as I get paid I'm not overly particular. [Disclaimer: lighting by Showtime.]
