It's always nice to say you work for the big clubs or at finals but that isn't everything. I was with an agency for abit but there was no money in it. Also the competition is mental at the bigger games!

Your right. I keep saying football because that's the sport I have most experience in but I'd love the idea of expanding the sports I shoot

The aim is for both of those really. I have gone down the sports agency route where its pay per publication and I don't find you make any money with it. But football or sports photography in general is something I want to incorporate into my work load more often. I currently shoot a fair bit of...

Yeah I know there are and they're ruining photography as a career for us! Know plenty like that. I think they know there will be some cost as my cousin-in-law mentioned that's what the phone call would be tomorrow so at least I know that bit! Just not sure how much it will be though

I would definitely consider doing the portraits of the team and group photos. Like you say most clubs still appreciate professional photographs and I think parents do too. I mean look at what people pay for the H Tempest packages for schools and universities! I will definitely have a think...

The club is only 15 minutes via car but I'm not sure yet what work they'd want me to cover. They have like 18 teams of girls and boys of different ages so I doubt they'd want me to cover every match, it wouldn't be possible. Yeah £25 is definitely too low for me. I have seen the time that goes...

Haha I know! The league 1 wage is a joke I think! But any advise with my question? The opportunity would give me regular work over the winter period which is when I'm quiet plus I've always wanted to do some football in my workload. But I want my time put into it to be worth the money too.

Hi, So I have experience in the past photographing league 2 - championship football but I've not been able to get proper work from this as my local club has their own club photographers already and the rest was for a sports photography agency that was only pay per publication. Now I recently...

So I think my decision will be the D5 which is what most have suggested I go! It's cleared my mind up abit so thanks all!

I think the struggle with decision is that I'd like to do more sports which I know the D5 is perfect for but right now, alot of my work isn't sports and it's more corporate kind of stuff. But I think I'm going to end up going for the D5 as I already have the D800 for the corporate stuff which I...

I do sports photography and tbh i would like to get into it more than i am at the moment, like id love to be a club photographer in the future. Would the D850 capture football well? As my D800 struggles as i think it is too slow.

So the D5 lacks quality over the D800 and D850? But obviously in sports, it's better because of the frames per second. Would you use the D800 for corporate images still then and the D5 for the sports and events? Obviously I want to up the quality of my images if i'm spending money on a new camera

See this is the challenge of deciding between the 2. Because I work freelance I do different types of jobs... Alot of my work is printed either in the paper or things like prospectuses or websites so the D5 shouldn't be an issue really. But at the same time, if the D800 is more detail then will...

The D5 is going to be a better image than be D800 won't it because of how newer and advanced it is compared to the D800? I have had images printed on billboards and posters for a school this year. Would the D5 product big enough images for that kind of work? Obviously if not, then I can always...

I thought it was a while until the mirrorless came out? I bet it will be crazy expensive.
