[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 have one, or a remote release you can borrow.

Ooh, that would be great, thanks! If you'll not be needing it on holiday ...

I'm not intending to lug a tripod around with me, so I doubt I'll have much use for any sort of remote shutter release. I have both the cable and the RC-5 (well, the 7dayshop version of it).

Fair point! The cable's probably better for these purposes, as I'll be behind the camera rather than in front. Ta!
