Just arrived back in Hobart from Brisbane, here is a Pano I did from Suncorp Stadium plus a few action shots.

Dave, were you on the sidelines for this or were you sitting in front row? You seem to have a very low perspective which is good. Nice work given the available lighting.

Hi there Big V,

Was sideline for this one, lighting was a challenge but I had a blast. I was glad to get home again the weather up there was far too hot.

Great looking Clipsal shots, I will have to start working on getting back there for next year.

Looks like you got a great spot to shoot from (and of course watch the game). Some good shots there...

You did well to get one of Queensland scoring a try - I believe that doesn't happen all that often

Hi there Sheepie,

Yep the spot was great. The guy did score the try, was one of two... which as you say doesn't happen that often.

I'm incredibly jealous TassieD!!!

Even though it's the Reds v. Lions ... GO THE TAHS (dot com)!!!

nice shots TassieD. I really like #2.

I'm interested to hear what settings you use inside the stadium.

Also lens(es)

cheers

Hi there R2,

My setup was Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500 iso 1600-3200. Not yet being the owner of any White glass the sigma is my lens of choice. I shot in Av and set at 5.6 and kept an eye on what the shutter speeds were coming in at.

And that's a cheap shot....

They scored two against the Lions!

(but still managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Eddie is apoplectic!)

Hi there CF,

They most surely did.... and I caught both...lolol was a good game except for the last 10 minutes.

Excellent pix, BTW. Sorry, meant to compliment you earlier.

The shot of Quade Cooper scoring his first Super try in his maiden appearance is a bottler. Well done.

The line out shot is excellent, Schikofsce (spl?) must be wondering if he made the right decision to change to union? Then again, I think Raiders are odds on for spoon as well as 'Reds!

Actually, it's a pity there wasn't more crowd there to add to your images' atmosphere. Well captured nonetheless.

Thanks for the comments Ozimax, yeah I wished there had been a few more people, but was a fun night none the less.

Hey David, the shots are fantastic. Looks like you had the best 'seat' in the house. The lighting conditions look difficult but you handled it well.

Thanks Rainey, The seat was great, grass is nice and comfortable. The stadium lighting was definately usable.
