I've mostly shot high school sports and I think it's all about location and timing. Shooting wide open and getting a "clean" background really isolates the action from the background which I try to do with my portrait photography as well. Tough to do with point and shoot cameras that have shutter lag. Thanks, Bruce Great Stuff! I’ve mostly shot high school sports and I think it’s all about location and timing.
