I am no sportsman, however a number of my Indian colleagues at work were seriously fanatical about Cricket. Annually the Mariners Cup is held in Singapore and a number of local teams take part in the one day event.
I had just purchased the 40-150 f2.8 zoom lens and 1.4x teleconverter so thought it would be a good test of equipment, albeit I had never shot a sporting event before. I am pleased to say I got a few good shots, nothing spectacular but I thought they were quite good.
Below my colleague batting. Unfortunately shutter speed just not quite high enough to freeze the end of the bat.
Camera: Olympus OM-D E-M1
Lens: Olympus mZuiko 40-150mm F2.8 + MC-14
Exposure: f7,1, 1/1000s, ISO 200 @ 210mm (420mm equiv.)
Cropped in Affinity Photo.
