Good pics, just a shame you cut the feet off in the last, but a great set.

Class work!

My non-league club played at Bradford City in the FA Cup some years ago. I have a club licence, club secretary sorted things as usual, no problem at all.

Is that a sport?

Take a look at this book https://www.amazon.co.uk/European-Fields-Landscape-League-Football/dp/3865212387 and this one by an acquaintance of mine https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dugouts-David-Bauckham/dp/1845374789 Your project has been done before, but don't be put off, make it yours. Referees...

Nice set, Seb. Loving the silhouette shot.

Really great set. Love #4. What is that stick flying in the middle of the pic? And just a shame the ball is so small, but I guess that's the game LOL

I use Zenfolio, upload original size file, offer different download or print size options, apply a watermark for the web gallery. Job done. Much easier than messing around with PS or other stuff, which I once did.

If you use your camera at LOT, as a busy sports photographer might, you might want to get it checked over annually. If you are a typical hobby photographer, its probably not necessary. I had a camera shutter mechanism go after a LOT of use, and got it repaired. Other than that, you probably...

Hi. Thanks for the info. In the end, the venue was a basement of a music shop way too small to muck about with flour, barely enough room to put the lights up and get the drummer in. Anyhow, the flour will come in useful! I like the idea of baby powder, but hate the smell of it! The group is an...

Wait for your 'subject' to come to you, that way you are not invading their space.

Sod the local rag. If they print a pic, its in the recycling the following day. I won't give away to the press for free, credit or otherwise. 1. I don't want to put their few remaining snappers out of work, 2. if its good enough, its worth paying for. End of.

Intrigued by what camera you are using. Digitals offer different metering options, spot, evaluative, centre-weighted etc. You have exposure compensation. You can bracket. You can shoot raw. If you are worried about some bits of the scene being under or over exposed by the reading, take several...
