Catching a good image in sports comes down to a lot of experience and a little bit of luck. I find that just like anything else in life, practice makes perfect, or at least better. My attempt to get good images at basketball did not work. Between my lack of knowledge in basketball, my camera's capabilities and the lighting in the arena, I did not fair well. But, luck was with me and I was able to shoot a rugby game. The weather cooperated with no rain and plenty of available light, so I was able to get much better action images. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I did taking them.
The Detroit Tradesman defeated the Bowling Green Falcons rugby team Saturday in Southfield MI. The game was close from the beginning and continued through the game with a final score of 33-35.
The Falcons and Tradesmen come together to form a scrum.
"A scrum is a play in Rugby in which the two sets of forwards mass together around the ball and, with their heads down, struggle to gain possession of the ball"(PHO245/Teri Birtwhistle)
