    Football Photographer

    Well said. 12k is not going to scratch the surface, let alone the time and effort and skill (we're not just talking about photographic skill, but also the workflow to get those images out in 3 minutes). I've been shooting premiership football for two years, and this week I'm covering my first...

    Thats a great example of our jobs though, you gotta keep on persevering as you never know what story may happen right in front of you. Now if only, Westlife have a big bust up and never gig again, Jessica Ennis comes out as a man, and Nate Adams retires from motoX to take up cheese rolling...

    Nice to hear you've had a good result there! I'm not able to get out to a match for a while yet, doing athletics and red bull X champs. Then I'm back into the footy. I can keep tonights standard to one side, if you need it. Also got a guy in the office who gets the Sun everyday, but...
