- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
tomorrow I'm going to shoot a footbal match (soccer for Americans ). it is a big game - first league players... team from my city vs one from the capital Warsaw. And because I belong to the photo society and because I know a few people from tv, I have a special pass for photogs and bright orage vest with "FOTO" on back. So I can enter for free and take pics. what's more I can be on the "grass" so around the footbal pich, were other official photogs are.
And here's the problem: I have only my fuji s5000. I am prepared that other photogs will make fun from me, but that's not the point. Should I take my tripod there? Actually the light conditions are very good so I'll be able to take pics on f3.2 (the biggest in my cam) and quite fast time... but I'm not sure if it is fast enough to freeze the players....
when I observed other photogs shooting games, they always have tripods, but I'm not sure if it is comfortable... actually you can move, and move really fast so tripod might be a problem then. on the other hand I'm not sure about light conditions there... what would you suggest?? and of course I don't want to take too much with me...
I will also aprecciate any tips and tricks for such photography, coz I have never taken sport pictures. I read all the posts I found with "sport photography" but all what's there I already know... ... any help???
