Thanks for all the replies and advice .
This is a hobby for me and thankfully I do not need to get paid . My photos are used by the various local small colleges and websites and one local monthly football publication . I enjoy football and photography and this allows me access to games with the opportunity to take photos .
I feel I am at that point where a 400 2.8 and 1dx would be a logical next step , but that combination does not fit my primary interest of nature photography.
Again I appreciate the comments from the high end sports shooters on this site . I has allowed me to quickly get up to speed on the sports shooting methods .
While the technical aspects of sports and nature photography share a lot of common techniques , it takes actual responses from experienced shooters to learn the details . ...Show more →
Be careful here. As well as getting feedback on your images, which is great, listen to the advice you'll hear on working for free or working in exchange for access. That's a sore spot here in these forums because the beginners/amateurs that are working for free are taking work away from the pros that need to make a living. My stance has always been that I can't control who decides to work for free or "for access", but I can control who I choose to give advice to about their images. Essentially, you can't have your cake and eat it too... ask for critique on your photos and then take their job away by working for free. Right now, you might not thing it's a big deal, but in the grand scheme of changing technology and the photo industry... IT IS.
