[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 should like my light-buckets to honk.
Like geese.

[grin] I think f/1.2 honks like an air horn. On a supertanker.

I think that phrase could be reserved for this f/0.7 monster.

"The much interpreted artificiality and hypnotic slowness of the protagonists is partly due to the technical requirements of filming: actors had to pay attention to not move too fast thereby leaving the extremely limited depth [of field]."

Wow. Just ... wow.
