Football is a game of inches

[wq9nsc]

Football is a game of inches and in the pouring cold rain and wind, this was about a finger inch short of a completion.  Captured with Canon 1DX III and EF 70-200 f2.8 IS III @ f2.8, 1/1000, ISO 20,000.  It was a miserable night for football and photography but the Canon 1DX III bodies and  lenses performed perfectly despite the conditions.

Excellent photo. Shows the action of the ball almost in his hands, raindrops, etc. Thanks for sharing the camera and settings. Good info for future use by the members.

I've been to games that were so cold...the brass monkeys were complaining.

Incredible capture that perfectly tells the story of how brutal and unforgiving football can be. Just a fingertip short in tough, cold, rainy conditions. Despite the weather, the detail and clarity are amazing. The 1DX III and 70-200 f2.8 really proved their toughness and reliability here!
