Football Photography

Gary, you are best off going along an hour before the game and ask to speak to the club secretary or chairman. I used to do photos for my local non-league club. You could offer them the use of the photos on their website if they have one.

What club out of interest?
 
I quite often pop down the park & snap away at a Sunday league game.

Tell them who you are & why you are there & they usually get excited about it.

If you are lucky,one of the players will pose for you :lol:

If your going into their ground then you'd be better off doing what Steveo suggests, if they are playing in the local park or recreation ground, you probably don't need to ask permission, but it's probably a good idea anyway. Wayne
 
If your photographing any semi pro or pro game then copyright is the FA's and you must get permision from the league that is running the game, like say the premier league.

No problems at all so far & like Wayne said,at a public park you dont need
permission but i tend to make myself known first & get any potential problems
out if the way rather than find out halfway through the match,someone gets
in a bad mood & find yourself in a spot of bother :thumbs:

Im still in the 'novice' stage & learning from feedback from the great guys
on the forum :thumbs:

My kit at this stage consists of a Canon 450d & a Canon 55-200 lens.

Im really getting into this though so a longer lens will be next on my list
when ive got to grips with this one.
 
yeah i have a 80-210 lens and i tihnk this would be the ideal for this kind of photography... but what settings you use for this kind of image? i dont wanna use 'auto' all the time lol...
 
I've just started doing sports for my uni paper and I use full manual (take an exposure at the start then check with the eV thingy in the viewfinder as you go) with continuous shooting and AF servo, I also ten to shoot RAW.

Snoop shouldn't that be in glamour ;)
 
if your still looking for football photography? i am the founder/ director of football and club development of longbenton football club if you can get the north east each saturday haha...
