Lovely series!

[Andrea B.]

oh that has to hurt !

Excellent action series, Andrew.

[Frank Fremerey]

Great action shots. The EM1 seems fully up to the task. Which lens?

[Jan Anne]

Impressive sequence of images Andrew and wel done on capturing all the action.

Normally I would say the DOF is a little too big for my taste but in this case the expressions on all the faces in the background actually adds something to the story.

[Jørgen Ramskov]

Wow! Great action shots. They sure seem to go all-in - must have hurt quite a bit?!

[gryphon1911]

Thanks all for the views and comments.

Yes, it hurts mightily.  It took them quite a few minutes to get up, more so the second time...I'm sure they felt it for a few days afterwards.

Frank,

The lens used was the Olympus 40-150/2.8 PRO.

And you consider the set fit for sports?

How does it compare to your Nikon Sports Setup you still have sitting on your shelve?

[Gary]

Good stuff!

I haven't noticed the faces in the crowd, thanks for pointing that out, quite entertaining ! specially when seen big
