    Tomorrow Friendly who to send pics to?

    Interesting to hear! Do you make contact with the host club for the friendlies abroad and arrange access through them? I'm in Austria next week and hoping to catch a few games with English teams. So am I best trying to get stock shots of player and ball, and send those to newspapers at this...

    Sitting down

    I use a Minimax stool (available on ebay). Not cheap but height adjustable which I find useful. It's robust and fairly comfortable - although I'd recommend buying/making some sort of seat pad for it to make it a bit more forgiving for long periods (my mother in law knocked up a good one with...

    Team photos - hints and tips?

    Hi I've been asked if I could take a team photo for my local football club. This takes me a bit out of my comfort zone - up to now I've been doing action shots and sharing a few decent images with them each match, so there hasn't been any pressure! I think they will organise the setting up...
