Pablo: I am not a professional either. I sometimes go to the local High School football games and try to get some action shots that nobody else seems to have the equipment for. At a recent tournament game, one of the players made a spectacular diving catch and eventually scored the winning touchdown. His father said in passing after the game, "I wish I had a copy of that play". I sent him one today.
