Arena Polo from Ireland

A few shots from the weekends action all shot with a Canon 1dmk3 and a Sigma 120-300 f2.8 EX

Nice, a few detail shots could have made this an almost perfect series.

Nice action shots. I'd crop out the guy on the far right of #1 since he's partially cut off and I think it would make for a cleaner picture. Great series though!

Thanks, I will crop him out. I didnt even get a chance to change levels on them to get them
onto the web for the players to buy.

What detail shots would you like to complete it Manutd? just curious as I got about 250 shots per match.

Like maybe one of the players and their horses preparing, a close up on an element of the game, or an after game shot showing the horses being comforted or whatever happens. That way the pics could tell a complete story, before, during, and after rather than just after. Again, this would only be if you were trying to make a photo story, not just cover a match.

Ah yeah I know what you mean, I always get a good few of them when the change quarters.
I am loving the Sigma 120-300 f2.8 and 1dmk3 combo a lot.

Nice, do the horses go to a stable afterwards? If so, see if you can get an after action shot with some of the players and horses, I think that would really complete the story. Just as a question, where do you photograph for these games? Knowing nothing about polo, is there a goal? And if so, are you behind it?
