100% true. A couple of seasons ago I was kit man for my local LoI team. Due to a variety of reasons, we had to use an old kit for a preseason training game played away from home, and the kit in question had an old sponsor. It was "behind closed doors" a training game, organised at the last...

Haha, yeah its a bit of a catch 22. From the clubs point of view they weren't getting much coverage in the first place ... and now that they provide their own, nobody else will want to cover them. Some just cant win :bonk:

Actually that's probably a better example ... would, or could, a case arise where a paper might have a staffer/freelancer at a game, they submit images but an agency has a snapper at a game and their images are also submitted to the same paper. The agency shots are used and the...

:) I think that should be built in to everyone's sig for these kind of debates :) Good point about there still being a problem, just created by someone else. I'm not sure what level of coverage the OPs team/league gets but I was assuming that it was low enough, coverage wise, and so it...

Actually just thinking about the in's and out's of these kind of situations and was wondering what are peoples views on if the OP was the official club photographer, and paid by the club to take pics and submit them with notes/reports etc to the papers. The paper wouldn't be paying for the...

I'm far from an expert on these matters but if I was in your position I would suggest contacting the Sports Editor and explain your situation. From my dealings with local papers, in a paid and non-paid capacity, some are more than happy to carry club notes on a regular basis as page fillers but...

Depending on the image usage deals in place its probably cheaper to use a stock image of a player than either sending a snapper to a game or using an agencies pics from the game. For League of Ireland coverage I've seen match reports using "stock" images of players from when they played with...

Not a lot so far, I've only snapping 2 years but so far I've got: - Football (Mens & Underage) - Gaelic Football (Mens, Ladies, Underage & Kids/sports day) - Hurling - Basketball - Rugby Almost got running, cycling and swimming in the 1 day when the Euro 2010 Triathlon was in my town...

Just on 7dayshop ... I bought a LP-E4 compatible for Canon1DMkIII and within 2 months or so it stopped taking charge and died. Sent it back and got a replacement. Replacement lasted about a month before the same problem. Hoping for 3rd time lucky now!

Short time reader, 1st time poster! I mainly cover League of Ireland for my local club and was recently asked by the police if I could supply an image of a certain person from the away support. The person in question lit a flare and threw it at someone but then denied all knowledge of the...
