Biff Bang Pow... It's Boxing!

A first attempt at boxing. A great experience - but a very, very tough sport to shoot. The 50mm f/1.4 certainly came in handy. Here are some of the pics...

Fantastic shots

Really shows off the action.Love no #6

Yup. #6 does it best for me but they are all great shots !!!

Thanks for your comments Alan and Skip... I really enjoyed shooting it... tough but worthwhile...

Absolutely superb. Were you ringside? Using flash or existing light?

All excellent, especially #6. Thanks for sharing

Very nice and very well done.

Curious about this too. You were able to freeze the action quite well which means HIGH shutter...which leads me to believe flash, but the lighting in the photos only indicates ambient(existing) light was KEY and the flash could only be fill.

Being da 50, he had to be next to the ropes!

Hi Hydro - Yep, I had the good fortune of being ringside and was able to work with the (pretty good) ambient light. The exposure for these shots was 1/500s, f/2 at ISO1000.

The 6th shot was sensational.

Awesome shots!

These are great shots - they really make you feel part of the action.
