Could be right, i started off at 1/1000 and as the floodlights came on I was down to 1/640

this was only the second time I shot a football match and I did struggle with the gear, but as the saying goes a workman never blames his tools...

Whilst the k-01 is unerginomical in design, technically its very good with a prime lens attached

Most of these w
Here shot at ISO 2000 minimum which noise reduction has softened considerably, oh to have the wealth to get a d4

I think the last shot shows how quick focus is in the k*5 mkii. The jumping player was in focus pre jump.

Don't they still fit in the grip for storage?

I use centre spot and af-s then constantly repress the shutter button to readjust focus, i find that method better than af)c.

never had any issues with the focus on the 50-135 as i shoot alot under difficult conditions i guess i just got used to it now.

Yes I think the focus focussed on the guy in the background after the player jumped as he was in focus before the jump

Just a few from a job last Saturday













Bit soft this one but I still like it

Partly on the k-5 variants is a terrible unreliable experience

Ive earnt money from pro photography supplying images for press use, weddings and clubs.

i specialised in music photography which as a career has just about gone down the toilet due to falling magazine sales.

weddings i do rarely but charge high, far to many doing weddings for two or three hundred quid, which after you take into account equipment, insurance and editing tine is far less than minimum wage.

the club work i do on a weekly basis and pays fairly well but the hours are not good, Saturday nights usually so no more nights out.

I'm currently studying business management at degree level in my final year and in September begin training to be a maths teacher.

I will still dabble a little in photography but to be honest how anyone can make a fulltime career out of it unless you live in a major city I don't know...
