Some cricket with the DFA

Once a season Glamorgan, the only welsh county to participate in the championship, come north and play a county match at Colwyn Bay Cricket Club. They were playing Lancashire starting at the w/e so I decided it was too good an opportunity to miss to pretend I am a sports photographer, well at least I have a lens to support the pretension. So off I toddled to the ground, actually next door to Colwyn in Rhos-on-Sea (see pic in sigma thread with my 10-20mm). I took my monopod and a bean bag but mostly just used the monopd. I think the DFA 150-450mm is a good lens for cricket actually, good frame fill focussing on the batter at 450mm, easy zoom to get shots to include the field, keeper. I didn't want to mess with too many GB of RAW's from using burst so shot jpg's.



Owzat! OUT lbw.


Glamorgan are not doing very well. They were almost 300 runs behind on the first innings, and have already lost 5 wickets (ie batters out) for only 79 more..


Good shot sir.


and again.


And another one goes down! Out LBW. As you can see the ball has struck his leg (pad) not the bat. That's Leg Before Wicket. 3 fielders behind: wicketkeeper with the gloves, two slip catchers.


Cropped - the last wicket falls just before tea - bowled. If the burst had been just a millisec later I would have got the bails in the air...


Handshakes, thank you and bye.


Well that was fun. The DFA held focus well on my K3, if I moved to a different subject in a jump then it would tend to hunt. And I'm pleased with the IQ of the full sized pics.

Wild Horses

These wild horses wandered in from the nearby desert for some fresh alfalfa and irrigation water. Luckily the farmers have not yet chased them off. Taken with K1.

My brother and I saw deer, mountain goats and marmots at Mount Ranier. Happily, no bears (well, I'd have liked a photo from a safe distance, but didn't want to meet one up close).
