Hi guys,
used to play five a side 2/3 times a week at a local small centre in Leeds. I say used to cos I got a nasty knee injury (snapped ACL, torn meniscus) in 09 but on the way to recovery now.
My dad still plays there so I sent the centre an e-mail to see if there's any restrictions on shooting there and offered to do some photos for their website as there's not any on there at the moment. Got this reply within a few hours..
Ash,
Absolutely no problem - feel free to take as many photos as you like.
That is a kind offer regarding the photo's, I do have some on my phone from last year but haven't had chance to publish them yet. However, if you can provide some up to date ones that would be brilliant; I could offer you some credit and advertising on the website as a return gesture. I am looking for photos of all parts of the centre, pitches indoor and outdoor, showers, reception, bar, car park, frontage and the signed entrance off the dual carriageway. Ideally I want the photos to make the centre look busy.
Speak soon,
They have indoor and outdoor pitches but I'll probably be doing the action shots outside (floodlit). Thinking of using my nifty fifty as I won't be that far from the action and I only have a kit lens and 10-20mm otherwise. Will this do? And how would you deal with the netting I'll have to shoot through?
For the centre shots I'll obviously use the 10-20mm and try and pick my moments well.
Probably be doing it Wednesday night so I'll stick some pics up Thursday.
