[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])

[grin] Sorry about that!

In brief ... the smaller then number next to the "f/", the bigger the hole, and the more light you can get into your camera. The more light you can get into the camera, the faster a shutter speed you can use, and the less blurred people are due to moving.

(There is a payoff in terms of depth of field, but I think that would require a series of images to illustrate - which I haven't yet taken ...)
