Please do more of these videos if you can. Always fascinated with how photographers work at proper games, seeing their work and how they capture everything, along with how you send images whilst the match is still going on. Love it! Keep up the good work 👍
Mark. I dragged my 20 year old son into my home office to watch your most recent video. He is a basketball guy. It was my third time watching this particular video. I kept telling him . “ see how happy Mark looks.” That’s my feeling every Saturday when I’m out shooting League 1 Ontario. For the past few weeks I have been in a photographic slump. But your video has revived me. Thanks a bunch!
9 years later and the 1DX is still a beast. I had one for three years. Best camera I managed to own. Of course a mkiii or R3 would be way better but then "who wants to be a millionaire??"
I photograph our local rugby league games here in Wagga Wagga in the Riverina region of NSW, Australia. Our comp got canned about six weeks ago because of Covid, so I have been starved of action. I love sports photography.
Great to see you back in the game Mark , you looked like a kid in a sweet shop at the beginning, and your facial expressions as they went from miss after miss was funny . Keep the videos coming mate . Stay safe 👍
So chuffed for you that you are back into the football side of things. The main reason I subscribed to your channel in the first place. It amazes me the speed in which you work, swapping from different lenses, editing and sending pics to the desk within minutes and not forgetting the tips you give us all through your vlog! I noticed midway through the video that sound from your voice was muted while the background noise could still be heard 🤔 Btw: Nice to see my 400ml f2.8 in your intro 😉 Look forward to seeing more of the same content Mark 🙏🏻👍🏻
Great multitasking skills Mark. Also, smart usage of a fixed focal and a zoom lens. I've learned loads from your informative videos. I'm a disabled non-league photographer from Lincolnshire. I am now a Subscriber!
Thanks Stanislav👍🏻 Yes, I’m extremely lucky to be loaned the kit for now whilst I save up for my own again. Canon have such a fantastic support system that cannot be beaten👍🏻
Hey Mark, I've watched a lot of Sport Photography videos as a beginner sports photograph enthusiast. I've found yours are really informative. I'm taking more lacrosse shots rather than football shots but it's a similar fast-moving game. Only got a 70-200 F2.8 but would love a 400.....$$$$ Covid must have hit you and other professional photographers really hard. Great to see that it's an industry with some top people willing to reach a hand out for support - restores faith in humanity. Keep on coming with the videos mate. Top-notch!! We need live sport back here in AUS!!!
Thanks for watching Kane, really appreciate it. Canon have been superb with the kit loan. That has come to an end this month but my good friend Steve Paston has lent me his 1dx & 300mm so good to carry on. With the industry still recovering I’m not going to re invest in kit just yet! See how things pan out🤞🏻
Moved from Canon to Nikon. Don’t regret except for color science of Canon. Starting over have to marry into the Nikon glass family, still have my L glass and sometimes fantasize about running a !DX MKII as a backup
Hi Mark, new to the channel and been watching a few especially the football. I use to cover these upto a few years back and brought back many memories. Pre match preps creating code replacements, checking any news or new signings etc. watching nil nil draws and getting absolutely nothing 😀. Sitting on the wrong side or end but nothing compares with seeing your images in the Sunday papers. I see you’ve also moved upto my neck of the woods in Nth Lincs, I live next to the Humber Bridge and it’s a great area to live. Look forward to watching more of your vids 👍
Hi Graham, thanks for watching some of the videos, appreciate your support. Yes, not far from you now, only 15 minutes from the bridge. Which agency did you used to shoot for then when you were covering sport? Unfortunately, my sport work has dried up again! It’s the same for a lot of us freelancers, the work just doesn’t seem to be there like it was?! Time will tell I guess but do miss the buzz that you spoke about before and during the game. Thanks for getting in touch and catch up soon
@@MarkKerton I worked for Prosport in the beginning but I think they have gone now as I heard he lost his Dataco licence not long after. Also Camerasport. I also had a conference licence so use to cover Grimsby’s games for non league paper. At the end I also worked for a guy from Doncaster area but had a major falling out with him over pay. At that point I decided to concentrate on the ice skating events.
@@GrahamTaylor123 Ah ProSport, know Phill & Paul, they’re still going strong. If it’s the same prosport that is? Camera sport still going too, sending through Getty now I think. It’s always tricky on commission, you never really know if the pay is correct, a lot of trust involved! I’m tempted to go back to commission but we’ll see!
@@MarkKerton different pro sport also known as professional sport which was owned by a guy called Tommy Hindley. He was very big in tennis circles and I think Wimbledon had a lot of his images on display.
Very happy for you being back out!!! And thank you for taking us along! Super cool of Jackie (spelling?) to hook you up with some kit! I love LOVE my 1D X Mark III!! If you’re wanting to stick with DSLR and EF glass there’s a bunch coming in to the stores as many trade for mirrorless and RF glass.. not sure if you can get B&H or Adorama to ship to the UK but they get and have some clean bodies and lenses. Or even buy refurbished from Canon..
cracking stuff Mark you're back with the vids! top notch again, an inspiration! Small tip though, if you per chance end up going to Preston, dont travel in that coloured van!! :) :)
Full time report..bloody good job you did there mate..caught the action and atmosphere brilliantly..loved the shots you got in difficult lighting conditions by the look of it..easy to blow out those white shirts I would imagine..Do you have the image stabilisation off or on with the monopod attached to the 400..?I know on a tripod it would be off but is that the same for the monopod..Great to hear how good Canon support was..
Yes, finally a new pitchside video. Have been rewatching all the old ones for the last months. Great video with lots of good tips!! Keep it up, and glad you are back at it :-)
Enjoy watching a fresh perspective on shooting soccer. Not as popular here in south Texas as it is across the Atlantic, but all the same, I like hearing your strategies on your work flow during the game.
Quality Mark, long may it continue for you, bet it was good to dust off the cobwebs. It's good to see in the video how much juggling around you've got to do between cameras, just to make sure you're using the correct lens at that exact moment in time.
Thanks for this really enjoyed it, it’s great to see how you guys work, as an amateur sports photographer it’s a great help Please keep these sort of video’s coming.
Please do more of these videos if you can. Always fascinated with how photographers work at proper games, seeing their work and how they capture everything, along with how you send images whilst the match is still going on. Love it! Keep up the good work 👍
Another enjoyable video Mark.Glad to see you back in action.
Yes please Mark ! It’s how I got into it if you remember 😊
Thank you for narrating what you are doing, your settings, and your methodology. Excellent Video!

Great to see Canon supporting their shooters in a pinch. Great video!
Yes, they’ve been fantastic
I always find a tip or 5 within you sports videos, That is great help/service from Canon.

Ah that’s a real shame Paul! Fingers crossed you’re back to normal soon🤞🏻
Thanks for showing everything you do while shooting!
Great to see you back in the game Mark , you looked like a kid in a sweet shop at the beginning, and your facial expressions as they went from miss after miss was funny . Keep the videos coming mate . Stay safe 👍
Fun to watch. I shot my kids hockey. 80D 50mm and a 80mm

Great video, Mark! Good to see you're back. If anyone knows a nicer photographer on YT, give me a tip (I doubt it...) All the best!
Great video Mark 👌 📸 🔥
Nice to see you back to the pitch and glad you had the opportunity to shoot with such a great setup.
Thanks Stanislav👍🏻 Yes, I’m extremely lucky to be loaned the kit for now whilst I save up for my own again. Canon have such a fantastic support system that cannot be beaten👍🏻

Glad to see you back at it. I had actually unsubscribed as I thought you were only doing landscapes these days!
Good to see these videos back, always interesting and helpful advice 👍
Great to watch. Love my 1DX and R6.
Thanks for watching. Love my 1Dx too although the need to change to Mirrorless is growing!
Hells bells Mark - that has to be one of the most stressful jobs in the world. Amazing stuff!
Wow you lucky man ... I'm pleased for you Mark
Nice to watch you back pitch side, mate!

I was in debt for a few years I can tell you!
Thanks from Berlin for this video i enjoyed with it
Thanks for watching👍🏻
So nice to see you back at sport photography, I look forward to future games and tips. Thanks
Moved from Canon to Nikon. Don’t regret except for color science of Canon. Starting over have to marry into the Nikon glass family, still have my L glass and sometimes fantasize about running a !DX MKII as a backup
Ooooooh, jumped over to the dark side aye😂 If it works for you that’s all that matters👍🏻
Thank you for an inspiration,Mark. You inspired me!

Nice to see you back at some footie, Mark. great vid, as usual.

Great to see you back out and at it mate! Hopefully, we can be the same here in Oz too soon enough.
Great video! Keen to see some more of these videos, I love them

If I don’t add the info to the image, it is the same as the previous image with settings. Hope that helps
Welcome back. Great post - thank you. What camera was filming you?
Quality Mark, long may it continue for you, bet it was good to dust off the cobwebs. It's good to see in the video how much juggling around you've got to do between cameras, just to make sure you're using the correct lens at that exact moment in time.

Really love your videos Mark. Thanks for sharing. Great insight into pitch side photography. Hoping I can get into some one day! 👏
