Cricket

 

Back in tin my press days I shot a lot of sports photos.  Since then though I think I'm done something like 2 football matches in 30 years, so I'm a tad out of practice.

 Back then I'd have 2 cameras at least and 1 or 2 great big lens, 400mm or 600mm was the norm for cricket, sometimes longer.

 Fast forward to yesterday and I was going out and spotted a cricket match, could I still hack it?  So I took this (this was the best of about 25 shots over 2 minutes)  Personally I think it's not bad.

 Actually it's not bad at all considering I wasnt even in the cricket ground, I was standing on the railway bridge nearbye, and shooting with my pocket size compact camera.......

Shot on a Panasonic TZ80 compact.
