Balintore vs Ross-shire Club

Here are some action photos from Saturday's game between Balintore and Ross-shire Club. I'll hold off on posting the team photos until the paper's had chance to use them. (North Star if you're looking out for them.)

For this game, and the Ross County vs Gretna game, I used a 1.4x teleconverter on my 300mm lens to get a total of 420mm, and I'm finding that I get better pictures at this focal length. It does mean that I have to work at f/4 which is fine for the daytime summer games, but once winter rolls around again I'm going to finally want that 400mm f/2.8 lens that I've been telling myself I don't need. Cringe.

By the way there's a bigger version of the netcam shot on my Sports Shooter page if you want to see it. (Click here!) Hopefully it will be in this week's Ross-shire Journal but I won't know until I see it myself on Friday.
