Riggwelter1698 Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Hi now I've moved to a more rural spot I've taken up more Sports photography, Moto X, Fell Running and last week visited my first Motorcycle Trials event. I hoping to visit more events throughout the year. Kind Regards Tony (County Durham) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbofurball Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Have you got a portfolio online to see? Good photos of trials are often hard to find, but when done right it looks very spectacular I hope you enjoyed yourself! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggwelter1698 Posted November 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Hi I've only just started since taking early retirement, I've mainly done football and rugby photography but this year more and more motor cycle and military aviation. I'm hoping to build up a online portfolio covering all my aspects of photography but I'm just a amateur photographer with a passion for sports photography. Kind regards Tony 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbofurball Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 For a while I worked weekends covering motorsport for one of the glossies, it was fun and got me into a lot of places where not many people tread, but it was also stressful because I needed to get some good photos otherwise I'd not get more work! As a hobby I imagine it's much better ... good luck in your pursuit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggwelter1698 Posted November 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Yes but unfortunately you need to have some form accreditation to get invited to some venues, also I'm mindful that for some people it's their income it's what puts food on the table. I'm not sure I'd enjoy it as much if it was my livelihood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbofurball Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 My tip for that would be to ask semi-amateur teams if they would like a photographer to follow them around for an event so they get good "team photos" ... that's how I got started in it, a friend was a team mechanic and got me a pit pass in order to take some nice photos (but once you're in the pit you can photograph anything, and you're not stepping on the toes of the pros because the semi-amateur teams don't get a lot of press, lol).
