Running late as usual...had a very interesting assignment on the 11th. Those who have been around for awhile might recall some photos of a Rugby 7s Tournament I did last month. That was a pretty serious competition that included 30 high school, women's and men's teams. They hired me for another tournament, this time a less serious competition - teams played just as hard, but the rules were somewhat relaxed. The field was smaller and I didn't even see a scrum all day. Both women and men had teams there. When players were tired, often players for other teams would step in to help out (which made it quite confusing for the photographer). And one organization had two mens teams there, so when they played each other, it was shirts vs. skins. Oh yea...it all happened on a beach...
Yes, that is the Atlantic Ocean you see in the background. We were in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina. While they did take their playing seriously, it was mostly a fun day for the teams. For me, These were all shot with my D500 and 70-200 lens - most at f4, 1/5000, ISO 200....
