Yes
jsut recived a email from our club president - photography club

with a opotunity to become a football photography for a local club who are involved in the fa cup etc - semi pro but nothing special

i would take this oppotunity , but there is a issue i dont leave work on a saturday till 3 and thats when it kicks off but can make it 10 mins after kick off

would you still be willing to do it

also i might not be the only one in our club wanting to cover most there games , but if i am the only one to want to do this would you stil put the suggestion of yourself forward ?

and this is not paid work either , which im not bothered by

Sure why not...just hope and pray there's not 5 goals in the first ten minutes.

Why not make it the photography club that covers the games, and then work a rota out from the interested members!? Seems quite egalitarian and fair.

Also, do you have kit that could cope with shooting football? The last thing I'd want to see happen is that the photo club gets a crappy rep from the football club because people are producing awful shots.

Take a look at my two tutorials if you do decide to do it (ugh. that makes me feel like a motivational speaker everytime I say it... :gag: )

Before I went full-time I came upon this problem all the time. I nice chat with the boss usually is enough. Explain the situation and see what happens.

My concern with your kit though is the lack of anything longer than 200mm. Unless you add a converter onto that to give you 98-280mm?! :thinking:

The 1.4x converter is a cheap way of adding some length...£230 ish and you've got an extra 80mm.

Not bad for starters.
