I actually did a whole video about stools! Yes I'm just that sad... View: https://youtu.be/_-z7D4-56oA

Hey welcome!

Yes totally agree. If your budget is real tight a 50mm 1.8 would serve you well. Focus isn't massively fast but it served me really well when I first started with basketball.

Fulham doesn't have sockets pitchside no. The wifi reaches pitchside sometimes but when it does it's weak. Funnily enough my EE dongle is my go too option at Fulham and it seems to work ok.

I stole this idea from Tobers blog and I can vouch that it's genius.

How funny, just been on the forum for the first time in ages and spotted this. I either use a gorilla pod or a cheap small tripod (very cheap but sturdy enough). https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F263309604487 I'll post some photos of the setup...

Thanks for comments all. Appreciate you taking the time.

This is a great example of that actually. The lighting here (in a college gym) gave me at least a stop more than the venue I shoot most of my BBL games at.

Yeah fair observations there. This was a mini tournament so it was a couple of different games. Some taken with different cameras too which makes some of the difference.

Fixed now

I was inspired by some of the recent basketball threads! We don't see enough basketball on here, it's a fantastic sport for photography. Most of work is BBL, so I can't post that, but here's some photos I took for my local team a couple of months ago. Enjoy, thanks for looking. Rob 1. [/IMG]...

I'm not sure yet. I might well be, it depends on a few things though, who's in the game, who wants coverage etc.

I'm a club photographer for surrey so I'll be there. Kipax is right in saying it's hard to make money from in terms of paper sales, I've had a couple from away teams local papers, but generally being a club tog is the only way of set income from it. I'll do a few other venues this season along...

@Philpalmer There's a lot of my basketball stuff here: http://www.robsamblesphotography.com/f624531023 Cheers Rob

Follow everything GooGaBu said and you can't go far wrong. You mentioned moving around every qtr. nothing wrong with doing that, but don't be scared to stay in one spot. You can get a hell of a lot of different shots from the same place, especially if you're new to shooting bball, get a spot...
