p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Strobe /Flashgun for Soccer Game?


Well, I was asked to shoot a HS soccer game this week (playoffs) and there was a photographer there for the other team. We pretty much stayed on opposite ends of the field, but I noticed he was using a strobe/flashgun for the game. Never seen that before. I am thinking the refs said something cause it only went off for the first 10 minutes or so. He was in a position that could put the defenders in a disadvantage. Meant to inquire about this after the game, but had to put the gear away at halftime due to rain.

Anyone seen this at a soccer game?

Never have seen it on the pitch. The fact that they stopped using it after 10 minutes suggests they were talked to and rightfully so. IMHO, photographers at sporting events are to be invisible and never do anything to draw attention away from the sport.

...and what's this bit about putting away equipment because it's raining That's what rain covers are for. Can't begin to count the number of matches I've enjoyed in soggy conditions over the last 20 years. Almost to the point that I'm starting to believe soccer is only played in foul weather

Rain, what rain?

I need to get some rain covers for the gear. This season has been brutal for the rain.

Do you use the Canon specific rain covers?

+3 on the Think Tank’s Hydrophobia.

I've shot for hours in very heavy rain knowing my gear was dry (except front element) and my hands were out of the wind!
