It's an entry-level/mid-range DSLR camera, but it's a good one ;) out of interest, what lenses do you use with it?

The one I used for the pictures above was 18-55 mm. I have a longer one that serves me well on travels but I struggle with it in the football. At least in professional matches.

For example, look at this picture

The photo is actually zoomed, because I was on the other side of the pitch. I don't have super lenses but we all have to start somewhere and it works a lot better for me in youth football given there I have more freedom to move around.

For now, its good enough but I won't get magazine cover quality snaps. The reason I'm not telling you the other one is because its in my travel bag and I cba to get it out haha

Yeah, a fast professional telephoto lens makes a world of difference in photographing sports, fast moving subjects and action shots in general, but you can compensate a lot with the right settings (i.e. fast shutter speed, large aperture, AI Servo focusing, burst mode, etc). Also, consider getting a tripod (or monopod) if you haven't got one yet, it's not expensive and helps A LOT to keep your camera steady and avoid blurring.

I definitely need to get around to the tripod. I've just began on going to Primera Division games as of 2 weeks ago and sometimes I feel like a minority because everyone around me has super lenses and I have a crappy one xD

I would be a liar to say it doesn't make me a bit uneasy, but I don't let it affect my work. The problem is I know about 2 or 3 of the photographers there, so I tend to avoid them. For now, its acceptable but I'll check out the settings.

@JOSHBRFC congratulations mate. It’ll change your life forever! But it’s all worth it. Being a father ranks as the best thing I have and ever will achieve. How was the missus pregnancy in general? My other half had a horrendous time, we’re not sure we would risk it again.

Another TF365er who's absolutely punching :ph34r:

Congratulations @JOSHBRFC:twothumbsup:

Think we all are. Considering we post on an Internet forum and love people we haven’t even met but just like the way they type words. 

Congrats @JOSHBRFC, still think Emerton was a fair shout for a middle name.

She had a planned section mate and it all went well. Couple of things we knew before hand meant that was the best option and all went well. 

 I got some cracking pictures of the baby as soon as she came out. Reminded me of Lion King. Oh and i also sobbed like a bitch.

Wonderful pictures @JOSHBRFC mate.  Brings back incredible memories and the most emotional moment of my life.  Nothing beats that and the happiness you just can't measure.

You mean the day when you were born :D
