I took a few shots at a club open day that had drone racing in the stadium. As has been mentioned, they're exceptionally quick so not the easiest thing to capture. I got a few shots I'd consider decent, however you're likely going to need to be quite far back from the circuit, so take a lens...

They're great bits of kit to have, though I always feel like I'm going to break it when folding it up!

Thank you!

Thank you to all of you who have replied, most useful! Bob, that sounds really interesting doing it myself. May I ask where you would buy genuine parts from? Can I buy direct from Canon? Also, what would you class as "gentle heat" in terms of a method to remove the cover? Sounds like the...

While shooting a football match last night, I somehow cracked the bottom display on my beloved 1D mk iv. The camera, and display, still works fine, but I am concerned about the weather-proofing which will presumably be breached now. Does anyone know if these are expensive to replace, or indeed...

Hi all. A belated thanks for the replies - I have found the lock button on the camera (it's not exactly hidden is it?!) and will be getting Photo Mechanic, initially on a trial. Thanks again

That sounds like a much better idea! I haven't even looked at that to be honest - will check it out :) Thanks

I'd be really interested to see this too. I've long held an interest in timelapse photography (and most recently hyperlapse) and have been fascinated with the prospect of using it around the ground on matchday. So much so, I have a little plan of locations and alsorts scribbled in a pad. In...

Hi all, I've been looking at ways to improve my wokflow at pitchside during games as currently I find myself fiddling about a little too much with laptop and card reader and then selecting images post-match to send over to the club for whom I shoot. Overall, I just want to improve how I work...

Hi Tom, I’ve never critiqued anyone’s work before as I still consider myself as very much an amateur and so feel a bit cheeky doing so, but these are my thoughts. Firstly, some great photos there and the lens looks excellent. I purchased an older Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 in the summer on eBay and...

Lovely set. I actually don't mind number 4 either, I think it's the colours!

Anyone have any info on shooting at Morecambe / Globe Arena? Also, is it suitable for a remote camera behind the goal? Considering giving it a try for the first time - not expecting anything great, just keen to try it out. Thanks Rich

This post will offer no advice and very little insight, so apologies, just my experience last night. :) I have followed this thread with note over the last few days as I had a hunch that the JPT tie I did last night would end up going to penalties, which it duly did. So thanks for those guys...

Thanks all. I shall be patient and look out for the 1D4. The one on LCE has about 200,000 shutter count, although they will do a 12 month warranty on it a it's just had a Canon service. I think I will bide my time (and wait to have enough posts to see the Buy/Sell section here on TP) Thanks...

Thank you both for the responses. The one on LCE looks good, I will probably enquire about shutter count. I notice there are a couple on ebay in Germany with low shutter counts too (albeit slightly more expensive). Thanks again
