I get Press Pass for the Munster games through a friend who is a Sports Editor with a Cork paper so I usually shoot from behind the Dolphin end or along the sidelines. Generally, there is no problem at all with supporters bringing their own gear, have often seen guys and lassies shooting away from the front rows of the stands and along the terraces. The Munster Supporters gang encourage it even, builds up a strong archive of photos from all areas of the grounds. Got this good one of Peter O’Mahony at a recent game…This is a low-res copy from my files on http://www.postimage.org” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;, a great cloud service I use…

Nice work! I’ve been using the Sigma 70-200 for a while now for sports work and I have to say, its a really great lens. I’m probably going to get the 120-300mm in the new year, the reviews for that have been great. The days of poor quality Sigma lenses are long gone… Here’s an example of one the shots I got a while back up in Parnell Park:
Nice one alright! I personally love shots that capture players off the ground, think it adds a bit of ‘ooomph’. Wouldn’t mind the 120-300 myself but for now I’m happy with the 70-200, very sharp when used right.
Certainly does, can’t beat a bit of aerial action. And to all those looking to take more sports photography, get yourself involved with your local club and start putting yourself forward. Once they get to know what you can do, you’ll get plenty of opportunity to take photos. Nothing beats practice…
Great action captured Gortan !.
Maurice, totally agree – its all about practice. The local club will love the photos, especially if underage the kids will love them and all the while honing the skills necessary to shoot sport well.

Agreed. We run a MiniLeagues program in June and I took over 5000 photos in that month alone. What I was taking at the end of the month was light years ahead of the start of the month. And yes, the kids love getting their photos taken, they’re all little poseurs these days ;-)
