Great condition some very light scuffing on the focus window. No fungus, hazing or faults on glass.

If you are photographing children on a football match on commercial premises i.e a football ground, then the club will be liable for whoever comes onto their property. If visiting person is then taking photos of children on a pitch, then it is probably their policy to have that person vetted with an up to date CRB check.

This is to ensure said person is not a convicted sex offender. Wouldn't look good to the football club to have a convicted sex offender running around their ground taking pictures of children.

You will have to pay this yourself I think it costs around £50 but depends on local authority.

If it is for an evostick league match (adults) then I would show the club the email from them stating permission isn't needing. Remember also commercial use is different to editorial use... However as the ground belongs to the club & is private property & they don't want you to shoot then there is nothing you can do about it.

I am not a lawyer!!!

Got assigned to photograph the Ting Tings gig in Leeds at the very small Leeds Cockpit. The photographers pit is a raised platform in front of the fire door to the left of stage, so not much movement...

If you are not sure who the Ting Tings are they sing thats not my name & the fanta song shut up & let me go...

The lead singer Katie White reminds me of early Debbie Harry in these..

Lighting was truly attrocious strobes & tons of lovely LED light to contend with, so flash came out f/4 1/100 ISO 1600 K-5 DA* 50-135mm Metz 48 flash.

Hope you do't mind I have just had a look at your website & myself I found there to be way to many images. Take your wedding folio nearly 50 images or your sports folio 80 images or the 100s of animal images, many of them are from the same shoot. I would seriously consider a harsh culling. Say your best image from each shoot. This would make your site look a lot more professional, with a look that says first time right approach. You do have lots of very good photography, just way to much for a professional photographers site.

I would also consider refining your folio of each subject so you have a bank of portrait orientated images then landscape so the viewer can just click rather than have to move the mouse between each image.

As I said some very very good work, spoilt by its presentation...

I would also not call myself a semi pro on a website built to promote my business, either you are or you are not. If you get paid work you are a pro simple, this will make you more saleable for your teaching classes, who wants to be taught by a semi pro??? Just call yourself a pro full stop. You have qualifications & you get paid, simples!!!
