Nice, but consider investing in an L-Series lens with at least 2.8 aperture. And a full frame camera. Depth of field is key to making the athletes pop.
Thanks for the constructive feedback. I'd like to get better at this. I took these with a Canon t5i, which has a crop sensor. For the 1st Ave. shots I used a 50mm f 1.8 lens, whereas most of the Central Park shots were with a cheap f 5.6 zoom.
I know I could definitely use a better long lens. Would you suggest a good single-focus lens, or do I really need a zoom for this sort of thing? Also, how does a full frame camera help, aside from giving you more pixels?
