Just looking for some advice. I watch a lot of non league / grassroots football and a few years ago started taking my camera to games. Nothing serious as it just enhanced my enjoyment of attending games, however over time I think I’ve become a better photographer and my photos have regularly...

Great set. Love the light on the third image.

Brilliant set of shots.

I see countryfile is trending on social media. Was surprised when they showed how the photo was set up as I thought the whole point of this competition was to photograph wildlife outdoors? Seem to remember John Craven and Cerys launching the comp crouching down in a park taking a photo of a...

Sorry, west of Exeter.

Fingle Woods? About 8 mile east of Exeter. Not sure what it would be like in autumn, but we stayed near there in August. River Teign runs through it. Imagine it would look fantastic in October.

Although it’s a pain when raining, I think it does add something extra to the image particularly when it’s muddy. I use a freezer bag to protect kit. I’ve heard that a chamois leather with small bulldog clip could be used, although I’ve not tried this. Also get a pair of waterproof trousers...

Photograph the local team I support and attended 53 Litherland Remyca games, mostly first team but I’ve followed the reserves / youth teams at several games. Also, About 4/5 other North West Counties not involving Remyca. And, attended non league final day at Wembley, but left camera at...

Bought a couple of lenses from Panamoz and great service both times. Last time they price matched the lens to one of their competitors and knocked £36 off.

First photo is spot on.

I’ve got a couple of stools; 1 a plastic foldaway footstep from Home and bargains , cost about £3 2. A 3 leg camping stool from decathlon sports, cost about £4. Prefer the decathlon one as its easier to carry (it folds up like a tripod and has shoulder strap )
