[Photos] A sporting chance ...

[dancefloorlandmine]

I've just been asked to take some photos for work this weekend. Of a five-a-side footbal tournament. Not exactly a photographic subject I've ever tried before. Any of the photographers out there (including those who've, say, covered Whitby) got any handy advice for taking photos at sporting events? It's a bit of a change from my usual gig/club/architecture/portrait millieu!

(And this is when I wish I had a 70-200mm (or more) f/2.8 lens! [grin])

I also note that Calumet will rent you a big white tube for a day:

70-200MM/F2.8L IS USM £33+VAT.
300MM/F4L IS £30+VAT.
300MM/F2.8L IS £50+VAT.

If work are prepared to pay expenses that might be worth looking at? Of course, some of those would need a hefty tripod...

Ooh, shiny kit! Hmm - I'll see about the expenses - although I suspect that if they're paying expenses for gear, they'll be expecting better results! [grin] Still, the 70-200 is a nifty tube - I've used one of them before at Whitby (courtesy of davefish getting tired of carrying it around when he wasn't using it).
