Hi. I'm pretty sure this is my first topic in the Sports section :)

Here are some shots of my good friends, Toby and Adam, doing what they do best...

These are shot with a 400D and the 18-55mm kit lens.

I'll admit that they werent as focused as i had hoped in the first place, the weather was poor and i was still getting used to trying to nail action shots. Anyway tell me what you think, the major PP is just for an arty look ;)
Once I get my 70-200 i'll tone it down on the PP as it's a lot faster and better for sports shots than the kit lens.

Please tell me what you think, i have a lot to learn with action shots.
Thanks

Great action shots, but I have to say, never seeing a face is tough. Colour might have been nice too :)
