But either cannot get access to events or in your opinion dont have the gear to capture the event?
Do you intend to do full time if get the chance or hobbyist?
well think of it this way...your job got you what you wanted???Always had an interest to try out sports photography but...
1DmkIV - Fail
400 f/4 - Fail
Media Pass - Fail
Skills - Think so also Fail
So yeah its back to my routine day job I guess...
first thing first. What is the tools required for sports photography? I see the pros all using super tele lenses. Is that a pre-requisite?
I really regret not using school time to kick start my photography journey so looking high and low for sport gigs. Make full use of your time.I'm still a student so I just follow my school sports teams to their competition to shoot . Because I wear my school uniform people are often willing to give me good spots to take photos because it's for the school. It's not like I'm doing a paid assignment so it's ok to screw up, plus there are a few matches of different sports during the season so there are plenty of chances to practice and improve, plus I know how shooting different sports require different settings and stuff. And if my shots are good, I think I can try selling them to the newspapers too, never tried that before though. I often shoot with my 50 f1.4 then crop later for indoor sports, for outdoor I can borrow my friends' 75-300 or 70-200, planning to get a 135L though (blazing fast AF FTW).
But I guess that's just for me, and most people on CS are not in school anymore -_-|||. But still, A, B and C division sports matches are open to public and anyone can just come in and shoot, schedule and locations for matches can be found online I think.
Hope this helped
Cant say like that one. Usually frisbee is outdoors in daytime so usually there is enough light even with kit lens, i dont really have experience but if its anything like basketball or tennis...advice is dont follow the frisbee but rather predict where it will go and then prefocus there. Frisbee + person in frame makes a more selling photo in my opinion.Me! I am taking Ultimate frisbee photos now. But sad to say, I do not have the gears
