Polo The Sport of Princes - part 2 of 1 2 3

by Mike McNamee Published 01/08/2011

The teams we saw were a mixture of professionals and amateurs, a smattering of Argentinians, Italians, New Zealanders and Brits. There were a number of females in the teams.

Each player in a team has their own goal handicap and the total handicap allowed may be limited for a particular event, ours was an eight-handicap event with a couple of fivehandicap players so the standard was high.

Photographic Technique

Between us we had a range of gear. Ian Stewart was using a Canon EOS 1D MkIV with 300mm, f2.8 glass and a 1.4x converter. Matt Adams was using a Nikon D3 with 300mm f4 or 70-200 f2.8 glass with a 1.4x converter.

McNamee used 300-800mm f5.6 glass with a Nikon D700 and MB 10D.
