About the Image(s)
This is a photo of an extra point that was blocked. I was using a Canon 1DXll shooting at 14 frames a second and still missed the shot of his hand hitting the ball. The following shot shows the ball knocked up in the air. The lesson from this is to shoot fast sports at a very fast frame rate. I used a Canon 70-200mm lens,F4.0. I was able to get away with aperture priority as it was a day game. I used ISO 400 and the shutter speed was generally around 1/4000th. I did have a press pass so I was on the sideline at about the 20. The light was very harsh but I think the camera handled it pretty good. I downloaded to lightroom and then processed in Luminar which I find far easier to use and more subtle.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

This is a nice photojournlism shot.You have the motion of the kicker, the ball in the air and the blocker in the air, trying to catch the ball. Great shot, sharp and a slight blur of the background makes a great picture.
