Some great shots indeed. The autofocus seems to be as good as advertised!
Thanks! I used the group area AF, and it seemed to sort out the focusing pretty well.

These shots look like they were done by some one who does this for a living. Maybe you should bring 5X7 prints back to the beach and ask those folks if they would like to buy 16X24 inch prints. You can ask for money or just give them away for your cost, It's up to you. ( if this is the kind of results the D500 is capable of, I want one. and I am a canon shooter) No. 6 looks like an S.I. cover
Thanks for the great compliment! I would be happy giving the images away to the young ladies. I was happy they let me practice while they played.

Really good, Jim. Looks like you'll be heading to the beach more often 
Ha ha, Mike, definitely. Today was kind of hectic at work, but I hear Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the more competitive teams, both men and women, so looking forward to practicing on them.

Great action shots. Crisp, clear, and well composed. I love the concentration that you have on their faces.
Thanks! I was trying to concentrate on having a player and the ball in the same shot. Plenty of shots that didn't, lol

Excellent set of action images
Thanks for looking! I've got a lot of practicing to do, but definitely worth shooting in manual for these.

I've never done much with sports photography, but decided to head down to the oceanfront where the summer beach volleyball games are played in the early evening. These two were practicing with a coach. I think the 10 fps really helped me get some decent shots, and group autofocus did not let me down. These were all shot using the Tamron SP 70-200 2.8
Well done under very difficult conditions Jim.

Great action shots. Did you have any delay from the time you pressed the shutter 'til the camera took the photo? Mahalo for sharing.
