Please!!! Don't be a Freebie Photographer, as that reputation will stick, and you'll never be taken seriously. If you're doing work for a newspaper, local or national, then there is value to your work. Value is money. You will need to be paid for your work. Offer them a Price per picture, or a...

Your final point is just that.Luck! There really is no predicting who will do what, when and where. I've gone from weeks of seeing backs and numbers run away from me after scoring, to being a goal cele magnet! No rhyme or reason. Also, most grounds I've been to, Prem-Non League, it is a case of...
