As I still am in favor of using one thread for regular photos of one theme, not making a new one for each sports category or event, I'm going to post my latest basketball shots here.

As it seems that X-T2 is finally making breakthrough for sports photographers out there, I think it's time to make an open thread for sports shots also. So we don't need to make new topic any time someone shoots sports with Fuji
 
I start with some shots from this week.

Great to see vintage lens used.  I have the Super Takumar 55/1.8 version plus Nikkor 105/2.5 and have on order (thanks eBay) the Minolta Rokkor 58/1.4    

Haven't posted in a while. Tested Fujis 100-400 in a game of football between Estonia and Belgium. Stadium was quite badly lit, so at F5,6 had to push ISO to 8000. Shot in JPEG. The lens is superb, but for those badly lit situations I'd like to get longer fixed lens from Fuji!

Hi
 
 I had the chance to cover another White Water event last weekend. 
 
This is my second year covering the Neilson River Race, one of the most bad-ass and intense annual kayak race in Quebec.
It is a pure time trial with each team of two kayakers racing a 3km class IV+V section with 6 major rapids, each team has one lap to enter their fastest time.
This river flow in a steep gorge and the only two land access are at the starting point, the Big Eyes Rapid, and at the ending rapid, the Double Drop (Class VI) which offer the best view on the action.
 
All shots were taken from almost the exact same spot where I was able to follow the paddlers as they approach the top of the rapid all the way down to the bottom where most of them were underwater and had to do a eskimo roll to right them self back up.
As the old saying goes: location, location, location....
 
Keeping in mind that the air is filled with mist and water droplets and that every part of the boats and paddlers are covered with running water, I'm quite happy with the IQ and AF of my T2.
 
Shot with a X-T2 + XF50-140mm + VB grip combo, on Boost, AFC with zone AF (3x3 grid), drive on CH (11 fps), AFC custom setting at 2 (follow), Raw.
PP in LR 6.9 + Irident's X-Transformer + Nik's Suite.
