Want more? Probably not... at any rate here are some photos I took of the Chelsea/AC Milan match. Sports photography is one of those things that is really quite difficult and takes a good deal of practice.
One rule is that there must always be a ball (for whatever sport) in the shot. Another, the shot musn't be too wide. And another, the shot must be completely still (no motion blur).
Of course there are exceptions, but to be a sports photographer for a newspaper or magazine those are some of the rules. I think I did OK for being in the stands with a 300mm lens as opposed to those monstrous ones the pros use.
