No
After quick answers as I am sorting todays 2nd round shots

I think its a no due to DataCo but just after confirmation

Thanks
 
methinks you ahve left out some very important information when asking the question.... like who and where ? :)

Steven... your a mile off mate..dataco licence cover england national teams...prem, championship, league 1 and league 2 as well as scottish leagues, also league cup and fa cup..

however if game was at a non league ground then the general opinion is you can publish...however you should always double check...
 
publish to my website and my website only

wasn't told not to but thought it was against DataCo

Perhaps not in that case
 
Publish them on here...I wanna see em........
 
Very sharp images. What was the crowd? Lots of empty seats by the look of it.

Their stadium is an international athletics ground with a capacity of around 11,000, that's always going to make for a sparse looking crowd at BSP level, particularly a club like Gateshead which doesn't have an excellent fan-base.

Ive covered RL there a few times with less than 300 in the ground, its a totally soulless place but at least has decent floodlights.
 
Crowd was around 1100

I moved to try and get some fans in background in the first half but not alot in the second

Impressed with the floodlights though thats for sure

Yes, that was always something I enjoyed when I was still a regular photographer there, being able to actually get more than a handful of decent images after dark is quite the novelty at non-league level! You certainly can't do it at Croft Park or Hillheads (or any of the other lower league stadia up here)...
 
Croft park is possible if you adjust your style slightly and use the light on offer, boxes are dark though which is a shame

ISO4000 or 5000 at Croft park and shutter speed of 400 is what I can manage depending on location
 
Do you have any post processing secrets as regards noise reduction? Set of pics looked great by the way!

Yes, I did squeeze a few shots out of the Gateshead game after the light had gone, you don't need to totally give up. To be fair to Blyth, their lights are probably better if they turn them all on, they seem to just turn on two of the four on each tower.

I did Whitley Bay a couple of weeks ago, now that was a battle once the sun went down! You can squeeze maybe 1/320th or maybe 400th at a push but that's with 6400 ISO, which I really hate resorting to.

Use Nikon ;) (I'm a Canon user).

Whitley ave floodlights that are different colours to which doesn't help :lol:

Shadows used to be poor at Whitley Bay to I used to find

As for noise reduction, there is very little, I use went through them in LR and the last 20 minutes of the game I reduced noise in LR by around 15-20%
