    This match was on Easter Sunday, it was Dublin against Westmeath, now I still have a lot to learn, however I thought I would give sports photography a shot, I really enjoyed it, and I would love to get into it a bit more.

    I was shooting with my D60 with my kit lens (I no thats nowhere near good enough to get the real good images), however us broke students don't have the luxury of forking out money on an expensive lens, but I will be able at some stage. So I was waiting for the action to come close enough to me so I could grab a pic.

    I am happy with what I got at the end of the day, but I am looking for a bit of advice on how I could do better??? The noise in the images ruins it really, but thats probably all down to the lens, but please try look past that, and tell me what I should be capturing / getting in the frame???

    The last one is not bad. Monopod is important as ya move on to bigger lens, but framing the shot is also important, the last one could be cropped a little tightr. Get a good perch along the side or end line be patient and when play come close keep your finger on the shutter and keep shooting. If you could see their faces it would be better. Ya dont need to spend huge money on a lens, why not have a look for a second hand lens 70-200 or 70-300 I am sure you would pick one up for less than €200. Anyway plenty of games on now with the bright evenings so keep shooting. Parnell park opposite the stand and near the dressing rooms is a good spot.

    There were three of us down the other end of the pitch for that game,
    see http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055536822 for a few
    samples of our shots.

    I'd say for the most part you need a lens with more reach to get close ups
    of the players and see their faces. Also try and get lower so you get a better
    angle on the shots (your last pic kinda feels like you're looking down on the
    player).
    Also the timing in 3 isn't great, with the players running away, try and time it
    so you can shoot a burst when the players are coming towards you, so
    you can get their facial expressions.
    Having said that, I quite like 2 and 4, sometimes the wider view does work,
    and you had the timing of the shots right.
