Action shooting for a change........
But I have to say that this is a little closer to the action than I had expected or intended !
The event is the annual Shrovetide Football match in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. Two (large) teams of local big lads 'move' the ball from one end of town to another using pure weight of numbers in the huge scrum th...at you see here.
I didn't expect to get this close to the 'hug' (yes, really) as it is called. But it seemed to come to me ! Hemmed in by hundreds of people all I could do was shoot blindly and hope I got a decent shot and stayed on my feet.
Techy details; AV auto exposure, a high ISO to deal with changing light, a medium aperture for good depth of field, and a wide angle zoom on the camera.
