It’s not as popular as other sports. But Rugby does have a good follow/popularity going here.
As a sport to photograph, I really enjoyed shooting Rugby. Plenty of good action and moments to shoot.

First time going to a boxing event for me, I was invited by a good friend whose nephew was participating. Whilst I have found the participants over history in this sport to be fascinating, it has been my opinion that the negatives of the sport at the top level over weighed the positives ie the trash talking, losing 3,000 brain cells after every punch, the promoters and the way an easy opponent can be picked to fight the reigning champion etc etc. But this was a junior event and surprisingly for me I came away a lot more positively than I imagined I would. I do still have my reservations but what impressed me watching this in the flesh was the discipline, respect and support the fighters had for each other. In this respect, it compares much more favourably over with my no.1 sport football (or soccer as it's known to some of you) at kids level when I see the over ambitious parents yelling on the sideline. My mate's nephew lost but that's ok; you learn more in defeat and if you face that earlier in life the better equipped you'll be later in life.

Tripod or handheld Pete? I’ve seen you do both from previous posts.
Excellent in-camera and final image composition. I appreciate the difficulty!
Australian Rules. VFL, Essendon vs Port Melbourne.

Shot my first Grass Hockey game. I was out for some street photography in the evening and I passed by one of the sports field in town and I thought about giving it a try, I did get there just before half game.

I don't know anything about the game or the rules, I tried to keep the eye on th ball and fallow the action from there. It's kind of hard when the ball is that small and green too, sometimes the camera did a better job then I did.

Apparently it was a friendly game between Wellington and Taunton though I still done know who won or if anyone won

I took about 600 images in half an hour because I didn't knew anything about the sport so I I couldn't anticipate important moments. I had it set on JPEGs only because I was testing the Auto and JPEGs that evening and I was pleasantly surprised in this scenario.

But I did shoot in Manual with Auto ISO because I needed the shutter speed control to avoid motion blur. The only thing I regret is that for the first half of the images I was shooting in Multi Metering and that was blowing the gras and the white T Shirts to balance the darkness of the night from the upper half of the frame. After switching to Spot Metering (with Link to AF point) the exposure and as better balanced and I got lower ISO as a "bonus". Need to remember that in the future.

I'm not to upset about shooting JPEG. The IQ was good and didn't need a lot editing, just a bit of Highlights and Shadow adjustment. I would still shot RAW though.

The ball is on the top left corner ... I never seen so many golf players on the field playing at the same time

They had a very friendly handshake at the end.
