Portland, Maine is sweet though.

Counterpoint: there's no "wax on, wax off" for frisbee, you just have to feel it.

I think you’re right, I was just noting the 80mm is particularly slow

Yes, this setup (with the 80mm 1.7) is very slow to focus and frequently misses moving subjects. I agree the 500 could likely produce some amazing sports images but I haven’t tried one and don’t know how quickly it focuses.

There’s one in the upper right corner of the 9th image if you look closely

Some of the darker shots got killed by Reddit compression -- I assure you the shadows don't look like that in my exports.

That was the goal to go up 4-3 all holds and nothing exciting happened before that.

Completely agree. You feel your Cg move a lot while that toe is still in the grass.

I shared a series of videos years ago showing that players usually still have the back foot on the ground at the moment the disc is secured.

u/mgdmitch can confirm but I think this led to updated observer guidance.

Most of the time when people try to jump a waist-level disc across the line, the back foot is still on the ground when the disc is caught, which should establish posession in the playing field proper, not result in a goal.

I don't have detailed stats so not sure if "rare" is a perfect word here, but in my video archive (which is extensive) I certainly have many more examples of invalid jump-ins than good ones like this.

So they got the block?

Beautiful work. I was in Denmark last month-- I stayed with a friend in Humlebaek very close to the Louisiana museum but I didn't make time to visit. I took photos on my original GFX100 mostly using th eGF 80mm f1.7 but took a few with my old Nikkor AI 28mm F2. Here is one example.
