Above is a example of a photo id consider pretty poor and would like to try again at photographing because its a pretty good action shot, however, the player is jumping the wrong way so I can't see his facial expression, its underexposed so the photo isn't as sharp as it could be and also my shutter speed wasn't high enough so the ball is blurred when the player is about to catch it. So, to improve this I should have potentially been on the other side of the pitch had my shutter speed higher than 1/320th and upped my aperture levels.
The second photo is a rather boring photo of a goal kick however the photo is overexposed and too slow shutter speed just a poor photo all around I should have lowered my aperture and upped my shutter speed again however the composition is quite nice in this photo.

In this video, he doesn't really talk about the shots he used or anything like that. He talks quickly about his equipment at the start of the video then he goes straight into the game, however, the one thing I did pick up on in this video is the fact that he did take a majority of shallow of depth photos of the Man United team, so I guess he was commissioned to do that.
In a different video I found from Rob Gray he talks about how the people who have commissioned him for this baseball game don't actually want many photos of the action they more want photos of the logo on the players and the logos around the ground, this surprised me a little because I would have thought they'd want the best photo of the player they are sponsoring.
