I headed to NYC in January for a holiday and took my Leica equipment. However before I left, I randomly picked up an OM System Tough TG-7. It was on Amazon at a lower price and I thought “why not”. Well I arrived and instantly caught COVID lol, spent four days in my hotel room, and then when I...

This is true, but I see a shift with my types of work. Clients are starting to ask for “things to be more in focus”. What they mean is a larger depth of field like a phone. As much as I’ve tried to push against this, there’s too much competition for me to simply enforce how I want to shoot, so...

Thanks for all the help, it came in handy today. I shot the images and the client is happy. I felt like a beginner again, even with all my years of experience in other areas of photography lol, and also I was certainly the underdog as I was using Micro Four Thirds. However it all went to plan...

Very true, but also a lot of them have a 400 f2.8 on their monopods whereas (sadly) I don’t have anything like that lol. I’ll see how I go. Sometimes, the less equipment I have, the better I shoot.

Thanks, really great advice from all of you. I was considering my monopod but they always feel so limiting. I don't believe I can stand up and my equipment isn't crazy-heavy so I think for my first match I'll just hand-hold and see how I get on. I could live to regret this lol.

Hi, thanks for the reply. "Soccer" I guess but as this is a UK site, I assumed football would be the best term. I'm at pitch-level and my first match is a daytime one. The stadium appears to have reasonable light going on, but there are plenty of digital advertising boards so I don't know how...

100% agree about game knowledge. I’ve always been in to sports with engines, so as soon as you start talking about off-side rules etc, you might as well be Oppenheimer trying to teach me at Uni. I haven’t a clue lol. Saying that though, I’ve shot various things in the past that I’ve been new...

This is really helpful, thanks. I was told 1/1600 but I’m unsure which camera I’ll use, and if I go with my Micro Four Thirds setup, I’ll struggle at those speeds… good to hear I can go near to 1/1000th hopefully

Hi all, I've been invited to shoot a football match at a large-ish stadium. I normally shoot Automotive so it's a bit of a new one for me, as I try to expand on my repertoire of photography. Have you got any tips? Techniques, focal lengths, JPEG vs RAW (I'm normally solely a RAW shooter but I...
