Hi Aubrey. The description of the lens that I originally put on this site was incorrect, I have corrected it, the photos on my site will verify that it is the newer version ( http://apspics.com/p658142607/h30e272cc#h30e272cc” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false; ). Thank you for your interest..

Hi Noel
As far as I am aware the Nikon D3 and D3s as used by the likes of Sportsfile have full frame sensors and shutters speeds of up to 11fps, I would agree that canon or Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 is the way to go for starters considering that most field sports are played in the afternoon during the winter months in Ireland, and where lighting levels can be a problem..

Not too sure what you can not put your finger on, images looks fine to me, every thing you need is sharp, because his feet are not in the shot, I might have cropped it up a little higher, otherwise it looks good to me..

If you want to go manual,it could be a little tricky because the lens is f4 -5.6 at the long end. with aperture set at the max ie. wide open, and shutter at 1/500th sec, the camera will take the picture ok, but they could be too bright or too dark, you will have to adjust the ISO to get the correct exposure, if you are starting out i would suggest that you go with the settings I have suggested. that is AV mode (Wide open) for you lens, continuous shooting and focus mode (centre spot) and watch your histogram, of coarse a 70-200mm f2.8 lens would be an ideal lens to start with for any any sport, the shots you have on your site are not that bad,get to know your gear and with a bit of practice it will all fall into place.

hi jrdn.
just checked the exif info on your photos, I would advise that you use a monopod, set the camera to AV mode, at the widest aperture, (you are using F10 and f9 in most pics) to isolate the subject from the back round, and give you high shutter speeds, select continuous shooting mode.
If you set the widest aperture and still not getting fast shutter speeds, you will have to up the ISO, or if you are near the cars you could use flash. hope this helps, cheers

Hi Jonwright
I would start with the performers or the organisers who have asked you to do the photo-shoot, you should be given access to all areas to get the photo’s that they require. I cant understand how you would be 40ft away from the stage in a ‘small’ venue. Any way best of luck …

Number 5 would be my favourite, exposure and focus perfect with both players fully focused on the sliother..

well done Johnny, I’d say the couple were more than happy with the story book album.
