If its a pearler send it in both orientations.

As I understand it CF reads and writes quicker, which is why the big manufacturers stick with it as de rigeur for their line of pro cameras.

The public doesn't pay for news anymore, so there's little to no money for freelancers to pick up anymore. Editors will cut every corner they can to keep costs down as sales dwindle, and unfortunately images are the first to go. They can get away with running crap probably because the public...

I know right?! I might even have to pay for some tickets too. Shocker.

I'm off to California for six weeks. Nothing but sitting in the stands for me!

Thank you for the heads up... a heads up you clearly missed that time around eh?!

I've done motorcross, NBA and snooker in the past few weeks so i'm continuing that unusual run with a visit to hockey Super Sixes Finals tomorrow afternoon at Wembley. Should be interesting.

Thanks for sharing. Really inspiring to see someone travelling with their work and getting under the skin of sport.

I haven't used PM for a while and the last time I did I found its FTP function was noticeably slower than a standalone programme. I was told that PM uses different compression rates and may be slower with multiple uploads. They may have sorted this out, I don't know, but in any case I use...

Absolutely, stock images are worth their weight too.

Perhaps my wording is off but what i'm saying is 90% of keepers from field team sports will contain the ball carrier. Certainly in contact sport disciplines these can be referred to as skill positions (eg. fly half in rugby, wide receiver in american football).

If you're locking your best pics in camera whilst shooting, and you know a particular frame is a belter, then spend the next three minutes trying to find out who the players are. Then circle their number on the teamsheet as a reminder once editing. This is far easier than shooting the entire...

Well certainly it can be done and many people do it, but personally I wouldn't recommend it and certainly not for the case given by the OP. When working at night under artificial light you're going to be handling very deep and contrasty shadows, and by underexposing you are increasing said...

Sorry but I have to say I think this really bad advice. There's no reason why you should underexpose simply so you can fudge it in the edit. You may indeed have less noise out the camera, but you'll only have to manage with more noise when you're trying to pull detail back from those...

I never considered that I probably have an exceptionally large head. Its for fitting all the brains of course. And yes, the eye is closed for composing, but I often have it open to watch the field or sidelines. Its weird having one regular eye and the other at 400mm, but so long as your brain...
