England international Joe Cokanasiga runs with the ball during an early-season game against Worcester Warriors. With team sports photography the best shots are quite often with players running towards you, but sometimes the ball can be on the other edge of the field with players running sideways in your frame. These are ideal times to use the recall shooting function on the camera and slow the shutter down to a pre-determined setting, and attempt blur shots like this. I was fairly lucky that Joe's face was pretty sharp and there was a ton of colour in the background.

I could have gone safer with a 1/20+ shutter speed, but I used 1/13 here, which makes tracking subjects precisely much tougher, but the reward is greater.
