The scoring at the goal line in front of me filled the frame at about 135mm. I have been going to the 7's for many years and have figured out where to sit so that I am in position to photograph the players as they run toward me to score goals. This puts me close to the action that happens in my corner of the pitch. For far away action I just ignore it. Only "Canadian Sri Lanka tackle" and "Aussie France" are cropped. Cheers Howard.
