The look on your kids face when the rugby ball is about to hit you..........PRICELESS!!!

This is not for crit, its just to serve as a warning........for people(and Rugby Mum)working with kids, never use continuous mode on a Fuji. LOL

LOL Di,
I was shooting a football match the other weekend, the ball nearly hit me but I didn't realize because I was looking at the other side of the pitch at 300mm, could have been painfull!

I didn't see it coming either, there is such a delay on my continuous shooting mode that the ball had already hit me full on the face before it had left his foot in the view finder LOL......this must be the last frame right before it hit!!!

For me it's not the expression that makes it a great shot, it's the folds on his shirt which tells me his leg is still extended after making the kick and shows the speed the ball was coming at you. Good capture, lucky escape!

"OOOOOOOOFF !!! ouch!!!!!!!!" ....LOL Mello and Bryan, not quite what came out of my mouth.....Jonathans only 12 so I had to keep it clean.......ish.

Boy did we laugh when we uploaded the shots tho......I had tears running down my face.

Paul when you pointed out the shirt thing it was cause for more laughter

Brad all I can say is I'm glad my son doesn't play ice hockey LOL
Thanks for seeing the humour
