I just got my first sports article published - from that very same hockey match: http://dittoslo.no/indre-by/sport-indre-by/valerenga-tapte-skjebnekampen-1.7160835 Yes, I am a bit proud. Even though it's just the local newspaper.

Norrskensren posted:Hey, the local paper of the capital isn't bad exposure at all, well done! How did you go about it, did you approach the paper with a story or was it the other way around? A guy on Twitter told me they were in need of freelance (sports)journalists who also knew how to use a camera. I applied and they would like to test me before signing any papers (which I can understand). I was supposed to take pictures from the match anyhow, so I said I could do a write-up as well. Guess they liked it.

I used this match to practice on changing focus points while looking into the viewfinder to try to compose the picture better (without the need of cropping). A useful experience. I also tried to measure ISO with only the in-camera meter (while trying out the different way of measure light). I can't really seem to find what's most useful. Put the camera in Tv-mode and let the automatics do the rest or do it like I do it now - manual with autoiso.

DJExile posted:I loving love european sport leagues that do this. Some of the hockey leagues especially have the most batshit insane uniform/jersey colors and they look like they'd be a hoot to photograph. Some of us would disagree in that. The best shirts are the ones that doesn't stand out. Like the classic Juventus-shirt (black and white stripes) or the german national side (all white). Then you have the batshit insane shirts like the pink ones and hideous yellow ones. :/ Or Getafe who had a picture of the Burger King inside the shirt so you could take it over your head after you had scored and pretend it was a mask...

I finally got to shoot some football during the daylight. It's amazing how much easier it is to do post-processing with ISO 100-shots than ISO 3200...

The guys in red/white (Lyn) are Vålerengas (black kits) fiercest rivals. A few seasons ago they went bankrupt and had to start all over in in the 6th tier - now they're at the 4th tier and qualified for the cup. Vålerenga on the other hand is in the top tier. This was the first match between the clubs since 2009. So both teams supporters did what they could to make it memorable: Bastionen (Lyn-supporters) with flares:     Klanen (Vålerenga-supporters) with flares:  This post suddenly became alot longer than I expected, hope that's OK by you guys.

JuanChai posted:Before you ask - no, I wasn't a winner... But that picture is a winner. While DJEXile thinks it was a bit too tight, I think that the crop was absolutely perfect. For me it makes the picture even more dramatic. A wider shot would probably have disturbed the sense of tension I get from the jockey and the horse.

I am considering shooting just the crowd for an entire match - or just focus on facial expressions (no matter if they are players, in the crowd, coaches or the refs). We don't have a match in five weeks now so I have a bit of time to figure out what I want to do.

ek posted:I am loving each and every one of these. Quite jealous actually. Trawling the heck out of them for ideas though. Where do you usually sit when you're shooting? Thanks. I'm positioning myself between the 5 and 16 meter line of the box. Depends really on what I'm shooting. This is from the norwegian premiership so I'm not allowed to sit anywhere else than behind the short side of the pitch. Skeid on the other hand is in the third tier of the league system so I'm allowed to move around alot more.

Pukestain Pal posted:Expanded focus point (in the center) with AI Servo. When you start using anything other than the center point, you lose accuracy, at least with AI Servo. There are some instances where I'll change the focus point though. Field goals are one of them. In soccer, penalty kicks. Same as I do. I try to switch the focus points from time to time, but I almost always end up with the center point.
