Hired by a local college

jlykins · Nov 20, 2008

So my brother just became editor and chief of a local college. I got the call from him today asking if I would be interested in photographing thier sports. I'm not sure how much they're wanting to pay, but it seems like it will be fun none the less. I'm not going to say what college just yet, just in case someone on here is the current photographer. Anyway just thought I would share.

Okay, so if you won't tell us what College you will be working for, can you at least tell us what College your brother works for?

J/K...

Well that kind of defeats the purpose... Oh well I guess it doesn't really matter, I'm going to be working for UC.

Thanks! But I didn't say at first which college for fear of that... I have since found out that they have three or four other photogs so I'm not worried.

I was kidding of course. I'm not the photog. for UC.

Oh I know, but that was a real concern when I made the thread.

Have you got some good fast lenses for indoors and long fast lenses for outdoor ?

jlykins · Dec 23, 2008

For indoor I'm using a 70-200 2.8 for outdoor I'm going to have to pick something longer up. I'm not sure what to go with though. 300 2.8 or 400 2.8?

Depends on if they give you a sideline or, not to shoot from.
