Nice series of images. The 5Dmkiii is really impressive in low light. I would rotate shot 3 to get the goal post vertical. Good timing on 6.

Do you find the 300mm too short on full frame for field sports?

Maybe cropped a little bit? Or is that just me

I think that these shots are fine.Love Number 6. Yes. it would be nice if we all could afford 400mm to get that extra reach as mentioned by bboowwyy but provided with the 300mm you do not try to take shots of action that is taking place too far away then no problem. The old maxim of shoot tight and crop tighter still holds.

I had a 7d before which i found sometimes to long im a great believer that the action will always come to you in sports on the + side you can crop the hell out of them and still have plenty mp left

I would crop tighter. There are is a lot of negative space I see in the pics.

Nice shoots, but you need to crop and come in tighter on some of your shots.

Thanks for the advice folks

Des, I'd be cropping to edges of ball, hands faces or feet unless there was something in the background I really wanted to show.

This is what I mean.

awesome shots...

If you crop these in tight, really tight, they will improve significantly

Cheers i know i should have cropped these a lot tighter but i forgot with the excitement of getting the new camera
