Great video. I'm newer to photography and only have entry level equipment but ive just started shooting my sons high school (american) football games and i find myself really enjoying sports photography. Its so exciting to be on the field right up close to the action and getting to see, and hear the players emotions and reactions. And the boys are also super excited to get something better than a sideline cellphone picture. I appreciate your videos as a newbie because i learn so much about positioning and angles
Rob these videos do help it gives me insight on what to expect during a game. I also wanted to say that I took your advice and now have a Canon 1DX for my sports shooting that I am doing. Thanks as always for all the great tips brother
Yes behind the scenes, don't matter what camera you use that's a personal thing. What I find interesting is how different people do there work day. Any sports will be helpful 👍
Great work as always Rob! Love these videos. I have just started with a Semi-Pro team, so just starting my journey! These videos help grow knowledge to put into practice. Thanks!
Great video, Rob. I'll shooting my first soccer game tonight. My grandson will be playing, so it'll be hard to watch him AND to shoot for to whole team. But thanks again for a great video Rob.
Hi Rob i have just found your channel and thanks for the content. Im just starting out so i would like to know how would a beginner gets access to football grounds and other sports venues. im not trying to get in Man U Games but local teams. many thanks
If I use a 1DX-i and a 70-200 2.8 for sports, do you recomend shooting with a 2x extender, or is it better to shoot clean lens and crop instead do you think?
Hey man, a lot of what I learned about sports photography and I've been killin it. Thank you! However I don't know if I'll ever splurge on a 300 or 400 2.8....literally over $10k
Rob, great video as usual. Thank you. Love your simple process to taking images is a pleasure to watch. One question. I need to rep,ace my laptop, and at the moment now sure what to get. What do you use? Thanks. Shaun
Great video Rob. Do you often find you've send in some terrific action photos from a game, and get frustrated to see that only the goal celebration images are ever used? As a sports photographer, I'd much prefer to see a good action shot of a full blooded tackle used than the usual mundane shot of a goal celebration. Whilst its satisfying to see your images appearing on print or online, I often question why certain images are used over others.
Are you happy with the performance of the R6 with this older lens. I was testing yesterday my 400 2.8 with the R6ii and the 1DXii and the 1DXii was performing much better (higher framerate and more shoots in focus). I must admit the light was really bad and I had to use very high ISO. I will further investigate this during the next day game on Sunday.
Hi Rob! Hope you’re well? Loving the videos thank you! Just need a bit of advice please! If you had the choice of a Canon 1D IV with around 150k shutter count or a Canon 1DX with just under 1,000,000! (Yes 6 0’s!) I am fairly new to sports photography and on a really tight budget so both around £300! Thank you!
There's still quite a few shooting with 1DX. You don't really see anyone with 1D or 1Ds. They're all out of support by Canon, but you're much more likely to be able to get the 1DX repaired than the 1D4. Given the price you're quoting, I can guess where you're looking. They offer six-month warranty, so that should mitigate some of the risk of the high shutter count. For what it's worth, I bought a 1DX2 from them this time last year with similar shutter count and it's still doing its job after a whole season.

Same here! Beggining sports photography, got my First FF camera, still to get Nice lens, but baby steps. Wish you the best!
What equipment did you go for? I’m trying to get into photography and want the best bang for buck gear :)
@@ludvicfreire1281the 1dx shots look old idk not as good maybe crappy iso and worse af for sure in servo
Why use a 1dxii don’t say because of rain lol

hi just picked up a d500 should i use gafftape on the body and cover it and how do you/i get acsess in the sport
What aperture you were using for the game?
Hi. Rob. Have you ever used a lens warmer.
Hey man, a lot of what I learned about sports photography and I've been killin it. Thank you! However I don't know if I'll ever splurge on a 300 or 400 2.8....literally over $10k
Yeah those 400's are expensive unfortunately

Have a look at a used Sigma 300mm 2.8. It’s a great and more affordable tele lens.
Rob, great video as usual. Thank you. Love your simple process to taking images is a pleasure to watch. One question. I need to rep,ace my laptop, and at the moment now sure what to get. What do you use? Thanks. Shaun
hey Rob, how do you sell your stock images for public use social media, newspaper?
those covid rules are still hard in the UK ?
Hi.
Just wanted to ask you is it okay to crop that celebration image tight
You can crop to whatever you need
excellent as always i do enjoy your game videos (even though im CFC) ;)
Tough day for your guys

On the R6 were you using the eye tracker and does it work when the players are crowded together?
No - single point centre for me on sports. It's good, but too jumpy for sports in my experience
@@RobSamblesquite agree.
@@mactionpixI agree

so are you shooting in jpeg so u can send them instantly or are you shooting RAW, editing them and then sending them?
jpeg but still editing them before sending. Check out my workflow video
Aleays excellent video

The 1dx is better definitely but be prepared that it might need a new shutter at some point
@@chankwanting thank you very much! That’s really helpful!!
@@RobSambles thank you very much 😁
Rob as always thank you for the information. With sports photography are you paid per event or is it based on images used?
Did you buy the 400 or is a rental or the company you work for provided it to you?
No all of my equipment is mine
Great video...
I thought it was a actual game😂😂😂😅🎉
Where are all the fans?
Great vlog Rob Keep up the good work at Fulham .........@ Deltamike Images
