Is it too late for womens' field hockey?

Mongrel · Jan-06-2005, 11:00 PM

I spent some time this past fall learning how to shoot my daughter's field hockey games. I wanted to share one of the best 'keepers' I got. Neither one is my daughter, but the parent I gave a print too loved this shot:

Taken with a 20D and a Sigma 100-300 f/4 EX lens.

I really had a great time shooting these games. So much so that I located a very nice 1D to take it up a notch in the spring. Hopefully, I'm not fooling myself here. The most frustrating aspect is my lack of understanding proper post processing technique. I really want to learn how to put the *punch* into my shots like I have seen in other photogs sports shots. Post processing is on my winter MUST DO list.

Thanks for taking a look...
