   Yep, I agree, this image really gives a sense of the power involved with that many men working together.

   David, your timing on this is superb! A clear shot right to the ball without a player blocking your view!

    jason - they weren't exactly working together here, but i know what you mean ;-)

    tanya - more luck and perseverance than timing (the bread and butter of a sports photographer)

    jen - dangerous twins? (thanks)

    adrian - quite a turnaround from their world cup performance!

    david - from the safety of the sidelines ;-)

    deb - fan might be a stretch (this was a newspaper assignment), but i played a long time ago and remembered enough to follow the action.

    You'll be a shoe for a Kiwi sports photographer 's possie, that's for sure!

    The right lingo would be needed of course :) but you'd soon pick it up from the sideline.

    I've linked this to SU if you don't mind please DM?
