    Canon 300mm 2.8 L Mk I or Sigma 120-300mm 2.8 Sport?

    Having owned the 300mm mk I for a couple of weeks now I would definitely recommend it. These photos were shot on a 5d mk ii but I do also use a 2nd body with either a 70-200mm or a 35mm on. However, the sigma would be more versatile if you're only planning on using one body

    go pro for sports stills

    I've used one shooting hockey many times, unfortunately when taking stills from a video the quality is not as good as using the photo mode on the gopro.

    Single speedlite project ideas?

    Wow I really like those images, very creative! My speedlite doesn't have the ability to do stroboscopic stuff as far as I am aware but could this be recreated with multiple images layered in photoshop at all?

    Single speedlite project ideas?

    Hi all, I have had a cheap full manual Meike MK410 (no TTL) speedlite since december and have made very little use of it as I tend to shoot sports action. I decided to go on amazon and purchase a light stand, a swivel bracket to attach to the lightstand and yongnuo yn rf-603 wireless flash...

    I am looking into shooting conference football myself, I currently shoot premier league hockey for a club and that only requires me to be licensed for playoff games and european league games. But at this point of the year I presume that I should wait until next season to apply for my conference...
