Blimey Kipax, that's quite a list. Serious question, do you know all those sports or are experienced enough to cope..
Ah - covering something else on the Sunday but ta anyway.
I would have to say the latter if thats not too big headed.....lots had never done before. however i get the pics and they get published and pic editor says well done...
When your sent by a paper they arnt looking for an experienced kabaddi wrestling photographer from the pool of togs .. just someone they think will get the pics..
If I have time I look up the sport and the best shots.. many threads on here I ahve started where i am asking for advice on first time X sport or Y sport...
I just remebered powerlifting http://othersports.fotopic.net/c1675306.html (I even got published) so added that... if googabu adds f1 and f2 together as moter racing then he beats me by one sport .... at the moment
Sorry KIPAX.. :bonk:
But then again - currently I only cover a single sport.
(oh, and I actually should add Power Boating to the list.... off to edit my post)
Also - when I lived in Finland, the papers were more interested in wider variety of sports, so that helped me on my list of sports
Now added, Banger racing, Tag Rugby and Kite Surfing to make it 34 different sports and not counting different genre.
Are you sure you've not missed any Kipax???
Go on then... what are the most bizarre then??
