Championship Match DS1

After having been gone for a while again I thought it would be a good idea to post some pics.
Here you can have a look at the photos I took at the Championship Match of the first team of my club.

The photo to the left is my absolute favourite of the day.

Right, first of all I need to explain something. Next to the fact that some people are easier on the camera than others, there also were other factors. One of them being that I only had limited space to move about around the court. This resulted mostly in the fact that a lot of the photos that I took are of the outside hitters (NL: Buitens). My apologies in advance for this. Some other factors were simply my gear. Shooting indoor fast-paced sports, such as volleyball, is extremely strenuous for the camera. I have a pretty good set-up, but what the pros shoot with is far far far above my teacher's pay grade. I mean were talking 5,000 - 7,000 euros for the camera alone. Not even counting the lenses. I think I did a pretty good job though =) and am rather proud of some of the results. The last factor to take into account is that some people just do not face the camera, and I mean ever! Others on the other hand are always in the shot and seem to be having a bit of the hots for the camera (I dare not be as presumptuous as to think it is the photographer rather than the camera and lens). Especially number 10 had a thing for popping up in the frame next to being an outside hitter. I did my best, and hope you like it. Another disclaimer: There are gygs and gygs more photos, but I am only showing some of my favourites here. I believe I managed to capture everone that day and hope you girls like the photos.
