I've been doing photography for about 4 months now, had a dSLR for about 2 months and would like to take things further.
I like to shoot allsorts of things like most people, but football seems to be thing that is at the forefront. I've being shooting my Dad's team games for the last couple of months, and have really enjoyed it, its a real buzz.
So i've been thinking about taking this further. I've considered trying to attend big local fixtures, basically the highest tier of non-league football i can find - and then maybe attempting to contact local news outlets, local FA and anyone i can think of that might use these kind of photos and basically try to sell them.
I kinda feel like i know what i need to do generally speaking, but if i could hear it from the horses mouths, i would feel more assertive about it. Having the confidence is hard enough, but being unsure about how to tackle this leaves me feeling a bit like a lost sheep.
I'll need new gear too, and am seriously considering saving for the Canon 70-300mm USM IS. Which for me would be a pretty bold purchase, but i've decided i want to take this seriously and im willing to commit because i know i can do well if i put the effort in.
So is there any specific things people advise i do? There could be some not-so-obvious things im over looking maybe?
Football or other-wise, i enjoy shooting most things really.
Cheers guys, much appreciated
