Hi,
Attended the All Blacks Sevens team final training today ahead of the New Zealand (Wellington) leg of the IRB Sevens circuit. It was a training run by themselves performing various drills. More than happy if someone has some C&C as im very new to this

Great opportunity and nice shots for a first attempt. I like he first one as a portrait but his hands look weird to me, would have proffered his hands on his side or him holding a ball.

Second one is nice action, maybe crop a little tighter but this can be personal preference, also need to straighten it a bit, always look at he horizon and how it looks.

I was there too, a good opportunity to get close to the action. Also if you're new to sports not to many people around so you can move around to try a few different angles to see what works. Good colours in the photos. Agree with mrrikki on horizon, crop and thinking about how the action looks. Keep at it. cheers Andrew

Great shots, really wished I could have been there, bet the weather is nicer than the floods we are getting in the UK also :)

Kia Ora! Thanks for posting! Great shots!

BTW, are those guys playing baseball in the BG of the 2nd photo?

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.
