A mate had a boxing match and his coach asked me to take a few snaps, I got carried away and took quite a few but here's some i liked. I'm quite happy with the pics, they're never going to be spot on when its your first attempt though, so don't be too harsh with the comments :lol:

To me they look a bit over-exposed and the last one could do with a crop / be deleted lol
Might post some more up later

not overexposed mate. in fact exposure is really nice. maybe a little too saturated, but i think the contrast of the black with the high saturation works well. if anything i'd of said you might of been a little too high up for it, would of been better being at a similar level to the ring, but i don't know a lot about sports photography so may be wrong :lol:

I had the chance of three spots, ringside, in a raised open window, or on a raised platform, same level as the ring.

Next time i think i'll go ringside, I went for the window, as I had a very good view of what was going on, took a 200mm lens, just to make sure i'd get the right pics :)

great bit of photojournalism, just too saturated, saturation looks good on everything but there skin and especially there faces, other than that, i see a photojournalist in our mist.
