Pic 3 looks like it might have hurt! Good selection of pics there Johnny - is that Clapham Common?

Nice shots, like the framing your LR editing. And yes, agreed - that looks like it might hurt.

Nice images - what equipment are using?

Hi i am using a9 and a7r3 with mainly 100-400 gm lens and 105mm sigma 1.4 art (not ideal, I was just testing out the lens) but last Sunday I used 12-24 on the a7r3 that was positioned behind the goal (will post those later) and then just went nuts with the A9 and 100-400

Just checked out the remaining shots on your flickr .. great work. I've done a few football shots now, learning each time.. The testing time is when the light dips suddenly then you realise why the pros are using f2.8 300mm lenses. As a football fan myself, it's amazing how intense the game becomes watching through the lens.
