Our local down in South Dorset is a Newsquest one and they have Furloughed their 1 Sports reporter who does all the Sport in the paper instead they have a general reporter posting national sport news, The paper is still printed 6 day's a week but very thin and their online site now asks you to...

I wouldn't worry. I have been the Club photographer at Dorchester Town for the past 5 seasons and at the start of the past 4 i had emailed them to introduce myself and what would be needed to get on their books. I had never had a reply from them so didn't bother at the start of this season just...

In Many Thanks. (Dorset Snapper)

At Southern Premier level. Dorchester has 3g installed last summer and its very strictly Football boots to go pitchside, Slough & Redditch the previous season the same. But last season i went pitchside covering Dorchester at Merthyr, Hendon, Eastbourne (FA Trophy) (missed Walton Casuals but...

Hi I shoot Dorchester Town in the Southern Prem. I use 2 bodies 7d mk2. Start/end of the season i may stick the 500mm on one and have the 2nd body on a 100-400 really for the zoom range choice, although of course not too good for backgrounds, so some times 70-200 f 2.8. Winter and night games...

I was told at Redditch last year and pretty sure its the same at Slough that you can not use tripod seats on 3g so maybe something to think about. I have asked the question at Dorchester about tripod seats on 3g but their answer was let you know, still waiting just like a home win then.

Same sort of seat to Nigpd above but with a bag in which i carry Hi-viz,Hat & Gloves 3g boots, a know a few of us have these. https://www.argos.co.uk/search/fishing-stool-backpack/

Hi i am the club photographer at Dorchester Town so not far from you. I think you are going to be lucky to get payment for the pictures in the local press of this low level league (standard) knowing what i come up against with request to send in pictures from Dorchester games. I have a deal in...

Think you have made this sound like an event like most of us only dream about, just once for the experience would suit most of us i expect. Yes heard alot about the Domke vest, i know quite a few birdwatchers/wildlife photographers have got them for carrying camera gear abroad aircraft so not...

I will look at floodlight columns, Stand uprights etc then level to those if the pitch is sloped then you will get the slope as it is and the verticals vertical (hopefully)

Good thing to bring this up, it may just trigger something in the back of someones mind if they suddenly walk off for a quick unplanned shot or someone may say to someone walking away watch your bag. I know Peli cases are different but with my Think Tank it comes with a security cable built in...

Just joined only just came across it. No doubt will be battling for last place.:beer:

I have £5 million for my PLI although i only shoot Southern Premier league (Dorchester Town) also Dorchester Rugby etc (all non league Football standard in their sport as such) it is over kill for that standard but sometimes i may go up to the local Council Sports ground if asked by a couple of...

This close season ( weather & wife permitting ;)) i am trying to get in a few games of local Cricket and also able to shoot the local American Football team the Jurassic Coast Raptors for their last 3 games (out of 5 as was away for the others) also may try some Kitesurfing if the wind/tides...

I am another who hates the Team picture along with of course the head & shoulder shot of each player. I always ask the club how they want the picture and where. So far every year has been the same 2 rows, front seated back & stood up in front of the main stand although they are not bothered to...
