looks ok to me, remotes are not and never will be your main source of images, it's just something cool.

i notice the difference in the 2 images, and I guess it's because of cropping, I would suggest to leave parts of the goal posts, in the image, else it would just look like you're shooting through a net.

Good point, it certainly does look better, thanks.

For me, it was pure luck, I bought a Canon D30 a few weeks before I was on a TV quiz show with the guy who does the website at the club. I'd never tried football before, asked if I could have a go, he liked what I'd done and as no-one else was doing digital at the time, he asked me if I'd do it as a regular thing because there was a huge lack of images for the website. Eight years on, I'm still here and still learning.

Canon 20-35mm 3.5 to 5.6 I think, set at 20mm, manual focussed on a player stood about three yards from the goal line (substitutes come in very handy at half time). Camera set 6" off the ground about 18" from the rear corner of the net. Hardest thing is the exposure really, the light changed all day so I just chose a setting and left it at that, I think it was f4 at 1/1000.
