Nice pictures, I just wish I understood that game better.

Awesome Chris!!!!

I'm glad you came along, you've definitely made me appreciate how good a 400 will be for cricket. I hope you got something out of it too, it looks like the 7D is a winner!

Here's proof I was standing next to you - Also proof of how good your shots are! That 300 of mine refuses bluntly to work well with converters.

Hit the ball and run back and forth before the ball ends up back right?

Hi Rob, wasn't it the other way around. (I was standing next to you.)

Thanks for letting me tag along. Its always good to get out and shot something new. Testing and trying different things. Boy, did I get sunburnt!

The 400 is so good. Worth every cent I spent on it. Those shots have had very little work done to them. Very small crop, little levels adjustment and that is it.

The 7D is fantastic as well. Very happy with that purchase as well.

Now to start getting some of those costs back with some paid work.

That is a classic Big Rob!!! It looks older than '82 but that adds to it! Nice post!

It was taken on on old Nikon EM with a 3rd party 300mm lens & obviously scanned.

But good memories.
