I was back out this week for a second try at Sport Photography using a Fujifilm XE3 with the XC 50-235mm lens. It's still difficult, but I think I've improved from the first outing.
For the record North Melbourne (in the blue and white stripes) won 124 to 72. For the non-Australians the game is Australian Rules football, it's not really like anything else in the world, it's chaotic and happens in 360 degrees like Ice Hockey, you tackle like Rubgy, you kick and handball like in Gaelic Football and catch (mark) like American football. Makes sense? probably not, anyway here are the pictures.
My team is North Melbourne, so that's why they feature exclusively.
