Default Foosball!

We play this at work all the time, and I always get completely schooled by my boss.

014/365 - Foosball

Got a job for me? Sounds like a fun place!

I like the concept and DOF control is great.
know this isn't the critique section but I think this image would be 10 times better if you have the "players" full body in the shot. At the moment it looks a little like a head on a stick

That's a good idea! I hadn't planned to make this by best shot, it was one I took in passing. But I ended up liking it the most when I was reviewing them.

The guys I play with are so crazy that we have to replace a player every week because he breaks. :| I didn't know foosball players could be broken.

The player in the secons shot looks like he's been screwed )))

Have you thought about using a slower shutter speed with the players spinning? Might get some interesting effects?

I look forward to seeing it. Please PM me when you post it ;-)

Rear sync flash might be a nice one to try.
