Beginneers Section - Sport (Theme)


Be_01 (above)
Be 01 Score 5.5 Good subject - lighting indicates an evening photo and I think it works well. Maybe a small bit too close to the subject.
Nice candid sports shot.


Be_02 (above)
Be 02 Score 6.5 A tough shot to capture but it was well done. A higher shutter speed would have ensured a sharper shot. Perhaps cropping out the wave in the foreground might have given a more defined subject.
Great sports capture and timing.


Be_03 (above)
Be 03 Score 8 Really Lovely shot - high shutter speed has paused the action, great lighting, rood focus and DOF - well done !
Good frozen action. Great timing.


Be_04 (above)
Be 04 Score 4.5 Looks slightly posed, as in, is he just holding the ball. Taking the shot with the ball in the air would have a totally different effect.
Nice shot. If photographer waited another second until the player hit the ball it would be a far better shot.


Be_05 (above)
Be 05 Score 4.5 Slightly soft or out of focus. Changing the perspective so that it is taken from the side would a better viewpoint of the image and adding the flash to capture a sharper image with a faster shutter would eliminate any motion blur.
Nice sports shot. Good fast shutter speed used and high ISO.


Be_06 (above)
Be 06 Score 8 Nice subject, slightly underexposed - perhaps bring up the highlights on the image.
Brilliant. Really captured the moment here. Would not look out of place on the sports page of the newspaper. Timing is perfect


Be_07 (above)
Be 07 Score 4.5 A bit grainy - on further inspection it was either over sharpened or was increased in size from a smaller image. Looking at the Registration plate it is suffering a bit from motion blur but definitely a tough shot to take at such high speeds.
Nice motor sport shot, but no sense of movement. No EXIF data available.


Be_08 (above)
Be 08 Score 7.5 Great subject - shows the speed of the action. I like the movement in the picture - the subject of the player with the ball could be a tiny bit sharper but it is a tough one to shoot in any respect.
Slow shutter speed and panning really create a great sense of movement here.


Be_09 (above)
Be 09 Score 7 Good lighting and focus - action is stopped well - a small amount of Depth of Field (by changing the aperture settings) would differentiate your subject from the background players.
Good sports shot. Ball frozen in mid air by fast shutter speed.
