My quest for the next must-have football shot took another step forward last night with this effort from the Balintore vs Brora Rangers friendly. Just a split second off on the timing as the ball isn't quite touching his head. Here's the full frame and a possible crop. Note the motion blur on the ball. Shot at 1/500s. I do love a bit of motion blur in football shots, so long as the faces are sharp. Next match I think I'm going to shoot at 1/320s as nearly all shots at that shutter speed still have the players sharp but you get more motion blur on the ball.
