Very nice. Just wish his foot was in there, but, everything else, spot on.

Nice capture :) . The high iso capability of the 5D must be nice, although the shutter delay and lack of fps must be a little frustrating ;) .

I think I read in some other forum, you don't have to have both feet in the shot. Hey, it's just what I read. :D Oh yea, I think it was in a tennis thread. Awesome shot!!!

Does anyone else use the 5D + 135/2L combo for sports? Or the 5D body for sports?


Too much stuff, not enough shooting time.

Canon T4i (2 lenses), Fuji X100s, Olympus OM-D EM-1 (3 lenses)

Just my two cents but I'd have gone to 3200 ISO and 1/640 then bumped exposure slightly in pp. I'd have also done a landscape crop just above the right knee.

Don't get me wrong, it's a solid image for sure and you should be stoked on it. A few tiny tweaks and it's amazing/ Then again, it's just my opinion.

EDIT! Looking at this on my normal monitor, the exposure is fantastic. Crop advice still holds but I wouldn't touch the exposure now that I see it here. Again, great shot.
