Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

Very nice - it does look like the arena lighting in the US is geared more for TV (and photography) than ours tend to be - a lot of these could almost be studio shots, the light's so good.
#3 in this set is excellent...

Thank you.

Lighting- it depends on the venue. I've worked under lighting fit for dungeons as well:

Now if you haven't seen my latest kickboxing shots, that's a good argument for tv lighting: http://snaplocally.com/22010

i really like the dark shot with the guy using rubber guard. gives it a nice feel

Im nice to photography so Im in position to offer C&C but I just wanted to say the shot of the guy leaning up against the fence is excellent.

Really nice shots there!

What sort of setup and settings were you using?

 

[SnapLocally]

Thanks guys.

My two cameras are the 40D and the 7D, and I shoot with a couple of Tamron zooms and a used Sigma prime. As far as lighting goes, I only use ambient- no flashes or strobes.

Due to the high volume of emails, PM's, and questions in general I've been getting lately I decided I'd start a dedicated website for those serious about getting into the business.

Love the shots. Though the red flooring does reflect a bit much. Not your fault though.

Nice one.

Number 3 is fantastic, great capture.

excellent shots only a couple i'm not keen on and if you got the feet in on the guillotine shot that'd have been spot on also
