Your sports photography videos are one of the best of their sort on CZcams. Keep 'em coming!
THANKS👍🏻 Really appreciate that
@@MarkKerton As a sports photographer myself, I've always thought that there's way too few sports photography related videos on CZcams, so it's nice to find new quality content. 💪🏻
R1ku Exposures Thanks. I shall try and cover as much as I can. I enjoy chatting to other snappers and sharing tips and tactics, so thought it would be good start making a few vids to get some more discussion going👍🏻
absolute gold of a channel!
Appreciate that Donald, thank you👍🏻
Instant buy on the stool thank you!
I really enjoy how you are giving little details about the 1DX in with your videos versus making entire videos on them. It’s a great mix of content, thank you.
Ah great, it’s an ideal stool for our job. Thanks for the kind comment. Trying not to overload the videos with tech!
Get the padded version. Trust me, your behind will thank you.
Wow.... many thanks for giving us an insight of sportsphotography.
Whishing ypu lots of profitable snaps and greetz from Holland.
Brilliant video. Thank you!
Wow, this was one of the most helpful and beautifully put together vids on sideline shooting that I think I've seen. Fantastic, thanks so much!
Thanks for the support👍🏻 Let me know if you have any more Q’s👍🏻
I'm your new subscriber, can you mention all tools/gear name for that trnsmitter? I meant what i have to buy for connecting two camera fot shutter in the same time, thank yoi before
As a young guy just getting started photographing youth sports and such, but with aspirations of getting into professional sports some day, all of this insight is incredibly helpful.
Thanks👍🏻 Good luck and keep firing that shutter!
Great video Mark! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks Trevor. Anytime👍🏻
Great bts vlog! Exciting!
Thanks Peilun
I enjoyed that Mark ,superb video instruction on the job.
Another great video, exciting to watch and super informative
Ah thanks👍🏻 Just working on a different vlog at the mo. Out tomorrow all being well
Loving these vids, great stuff!
THANKS👍🏻 Much appreciated
Quality stuff Mark! That frame from behind Mount 😍
Thanks James. Yes, he was just setting up to take a corner, the sun had been a right pain all game but it made the Mount frame👍🏻
Another great video Mark!
Many thanks Nick. Hopefully some handy settings and tips in there for everyone
I was looking for a video like this for months!! Great
Thanks Lorenzo, glad you found it! Have you seen the other two?
Thank you so much Mark for making the videos for us to learn from and appreciate how hard it can be for you some days 👍
Ah thanks, really appreciate your comment. Hopefully everyone can pick up some handy tips and settings. More soon👍🏻
Wow...excelent !
Thanks Yin👍🏻
Great video from a well seasoned down to earth sports Photog!
Thanks Joe, really appreciate that👍🏻
Thank you Mark. Most informative video.
Thanks for watching Andrew👍🏻
Brilliant stuff, love it! I've never pressed the subscribe button so fast :)
Thanks Diiogo👍🏻 Appreciate your support.
Brilliant as usual
Thanks NikCan. I'm really missing games now! Not to worry, this down time is getting the creativity flowing so must keep going!
Absolutely loved this behind the scenes video. The amount of work put into doing a nearly 30m video like this is highly appreciated. I try to do the same in my channel, but the most frustrating part of making these videos is getting permission to shoot video - the fact you were able to do this at a premier league match it's fantastic, kudos to yo Mark! Keep them coming!
Thanks David, appreciate your kind words. Yes, it’s certainly an 8 hour or so jigsaw to piece together, as I’m sure your aware! If it helps out just one person with their photography then I’m happy with that. Yes, quite tricky at games, it’s a MUST that I don’t capture any match footage, hence aiming the camera up my nose basically. But I think it works ok and gets the photography aspect of it across pretty well. Thanks again for your support David. Keep up the great videos and catch up soon👍🏻
What a fantastic little documentary Mark, the trials and tribulations of a pro sports photographer...brilliantly put together ..probably the best I have seen on YT..I think the behind scenes stories in a lot of sports is more interesting than the the event it self..some of those shots were just to die for..thanks so much for making and sharing..
Ah thanks Martin, glad you found it interesting. I only managed 3 football vlogs unfortunately before lockdown! It’s been such a strange year for me! I really am at a crossroads right now! Really think if I could earn a similar amount from this landscape work I’d probably switch! Time will tell I guess. Thanks for watching Martin👍🏻
Another good vlog mate,will be getting that stool. Cheers
Thanks Tyron. Yes, a very good stool, you won't be disappointed. Thanks for watching.
Cracking video Mark - it really illustrates the trials and tribulations of shooting professional sport in all weathers
Thanks Shaun. Sure does test us at times aye!
Awesome as usual 👍
Thanks Warren. Appreciate your support on the channel👍🏻
Excellent stuff Mark , really enjoying your videos from sunny and VERY hot Thailand .
Thanks. Send some of that hot weather this way!
I like the video Mark, being in the stadium of Rotterdam Feyenoord many times and being an enthousiast photographer always looking at the way of working of the photographers over there’re, but from more distance than you’ve showed us now! Great to see and learned about some interesting settings.
Thanks for watching Astrid. Glad you enjoyed the video. Unfortunately no sport for me during this awful covid situation! So it’s on with landscapes for now!
Thanks for the videos they are interesting and I really like your honesty. 👍🏻😃
Thanks Gary, really appreciate that👍🏻
This is the second one of your videos that I've watched. Both were awesome. Sorry about all the light issues but it's nice to know I'm not the only one that has those issues. Even the pros do!!
Thanks Kent. I should've moved really but was so sure Chelsea were going to win I risked staying in the corner!
Good advice on the AF settings - I've never actually cracked it with my 1DX, so I'll try your settings tomorrow at the Blues women training session. Also, I'll try the behind-the-goal camera on remote for the first time at the next match, using Hahnel Captur set-up (not sure it'll do high speed frames though). Great videos Mark, best on CZcams inmho.
Thanks Pete, appreciate your kind words. It’s all trial and error overall! Every days a learning day isn’t it! Let me know how you get on👍🏻
loved it. indeed not the glamour of the sport but so great to see how it goes on the sideline for the photographer.
Thanks for watching Arnaud. Yes, its by no means glamorous all the tie!
Ah I remember the hail raining hard, I was sitting in my car nice a dry🤣 at Lingfield Races next to the course. Waiting for the last race to take place then enjoyed the late sunshine sunset making a nice set for the last race of the day😉
Mmmmmmmm, thanks Steve. Glad you stayed dry! Sat in you’re car, part timer😉
@@MarkKerton It's horse racing only do about 30 second of 'work' before sending a few frames and wait for the next one🤣🤣.
steven paston You’ll be putting on weight Steve, haha😉
Thank you
Thanks for watching Yot👍🏻
I like it, I want see more! I do same work in S.Korea and this Vlog is helpful to me.
Thanks Jaehoon. I will check out your work too👍🏻
How have I only just discovered this channel. Subscribed. Also, thought I recognised that monopod of yours. I have the same one. Haha.
Ah thanks Mr T, appreciate your support. Yes, the monopod is a nice light piece of kit and built to last too!
Great video, I’ll miss next weeks Saints game thank you 😉😏
Thanks Darren. I’ll hope for a Newcastle win then, haha
Superb Mark, shame about the weather conditions, that sun looked blazing.... I managed to escape the weather in Birtley and Redcar scored a last minute winner to grab another three points towards promotion. Keep the videos coming they are very helpful cheers Trevor
Thanks Trevor. Yes, the weather was certainly all over the place! We love a challenge though aye! Did you get the money shot?
Mark Kerton yes got the goal and the celebrations so happy days... looking forward to your next video, they are inspirational so many thanks love the Ethernet connection to transfer, no messing with the laptop
Thanks Trevor. Nice one for capturing the goal and cele👍🏻 Yes I’m quite lucky that 75% of my football is on remote edit. Next video up soon
Nice, about the same experience in theNetherlands where I shoot highest League. My team is AZ from Alkmaar. Some things have changed COVID-19, no fans, empty stadiums. Greetings, Martin Mooij
Sadly no work since covid hit us! Thanks for watching Martin👍🏻
Excellent videos! Very informative! Keep it up. Following you on Twitter and Instagram as well ;-)
Thanks Mariusz, much appreciated👍🏻
I spent my morning on a sheet photographing my first football game in Tokyo today! King George FC vs Sagarmatha FC. At the end of it, my backside and legs were extremely tired. I bought one of the Mini-Max Stools through your link. To be honest, it's a little expensive for me, but I need something like that as I want to do this type of photography a lot more.
Ah that’s great to hear. You won’t be disappointed, they are great stools👍🏻
@@MarkKerton Got that stool just now from the postie. Absolutely fantastic. Glad not to be sitting on the ground anymore. Cheers Mark!
Discovered your channel by accident ( whilst doing the ironing) and found very interesting and entertaining. Lots of photography videos on CZcams can come across as very staged and false but this was spot on, by someone who clearly knows their stuff. Look forward to more sports related videos. Out of interest, on average how many shots do you take in a game and how many are used for publication? Cheers Nick
Thanks Nick, really appreciate your kind comments. Just finishing off yesterday’s footage, should be out tomorrow all being well. Average shutter count is around 1000-1500 per game, if it’s a good one! On average I’ll send in 40 odd frames. It all depends on what the story is on the day as to what ends up published. Yesterday’s match had a red card and a great goal celebration, both of which have been in papers today, as well as online. Thanks for the support Nick and hope that helps👍🏻
I love how practical your videos are! Thanks so much
I've never shot a football game, help me understand the constant swapping of gear. is it all about reach (400 vs 70-200) and whether you going for a wide/tight frame?
Thanks Donald. Yes, that’s it. I’m on the 400 for the long frames, opposition goal mouth back to just outside the 18 yard box, then swapping to the 70-200 for goalmouth action. Keeps us busy! Sometimes it’s a challenge to stay on the 400 for as long as possible, turning the body to shoot portrait, then onto the 70-200👍🏻
nice video..hope to see you one day
Thanks Yurigo
Extremely helpful video! Question on the remote pocket wizards -- how do you know who's on which channel? Do you verbally ask other photographers?
Thanks for watching👍🏻
I either check the other screens or if it’s quiet enough, quickly fire my shutter and listen for any others firing👍🏻
Chelsea fan :)
Hi Honza. Were you in the crowd?
Hi Mark, no as I live on other side of the world but I wish I can be there (any EPL game real). Commnent was in refence to @21:04 . Love that look 😄. Great video. Really enjoying your posts...
BTW how does current COVID situation affect photographers (befer EPL finished). Good luck! 👍
Great videos Mark. In regards to your remote behind the goal (about 16:30) I saw you test the length of play in the net. Have you had your camera kicked over before and also has the net been an issue in your shot? Curious also about the lens you have on that, 24-70 or 16-35? Good stuff!
Hi Josh, yes we always pull the net back to make sure the ball wont reach the camera if it bulges the net. The net is always in the frame obviously, think there’s an image or two in the videos, but it adds to the composition I find and the papers certainly don’t mind when it’s a good goal. I’m using a 17-40 at the moment.👍🏻
Thanks for your videos, i'm learning a lot because of you (i'm trying to be sportive photographer as well (but amateur lvl) and until now you're helping me a lot... Can i know which model of monopod you're using? Thanks a lot
Mark, you may want to go back and add a black box over the FTP settings here. It has been proven that one can analyze the blur and recover the info.
Great content, Mark! I absolutely love your work! :)
What type of raincover have you got there? I'm looking for something for my tele lens :)
Sending hello's from Croatia :)
Thanks for watching. The rain cover is just a free give away cover from Canon a few years ago. It is very good for free! Have toy tried Aquatech or think tank? Have a great Christmas
@@MarkKerton I'll have a look at those! Thanks for the heads up. :) Keep making great content, looking forward to it. Your tips are awesome! Have a great Christmas yourself! :)
Thanks, very kind words👍🏻
Awesome behind the scenes info. Are you allowed to move during the game, for example, to try and get away from the sun glare or is it best to stay put once you pick your spot? I image competition for the 'best' spots is rife?
Thanks for watching and sorry for the late reply! At the Premier League games once we choose our spot we have to sit there unfortunately! I chose this spot when it was dull and overcast as I quite like it in the corner next to the away fans so any celebrations at the waiting do I usually right into the corner. However, the low some caught us all out and as we couldn’t move we had to put up with it unfortunately! Thanks for watching
I usually covering the goalmouth action like yourself prefocus manually.
I put some gaffer tape on the lens so the settings aren't moved
Great tip there NikCan with the tape!
Mark Kerton I do use this gaffaers tape all the time as a remote lens . At basketball and netball games I also mark out a spot on the floor with gaffers tape thats placed at an angle that takes in the hoop from the ground. I take a test shot with attached pocket wizards to check the light and angle. I mark out a position on the court with gaffers tape looking up at the basket by using a roll of AA batteries are gaffered tape together. I then use these batteries are now gaffered taped underneath my camera body to provide an angle to the basket.
This provides a higher angle without the need for a mini stand that may kicked.
If any player gets near to my camera I can swipe away then quickly replace my camera back at the spot I marked with gaffers tape and continue to shoot.
@@NikCan66 Ha great idea that is!
Mark Kerton Add as a tip to the Kerton Kracker list if doing a video on basketball or netball.
Mark Kerton as your aware gaffers tape leaves little or no residue on the backetball floors or damages the surface so you wont get any hassle from security or the people maintaining the court.
Great video., keep them coming. Do you mind sharing the make and model of the tripod that you use for your remote setup?
Hi Kelly. Thanks for the kind words. Yes sure, I use a Sirui monopod. I will add a link in the description later on today👍🏻
Mark Kerton thanks! I was actually referring to the remote tripod you use behind the goal.
Sorry Kelly, quite a few comments coming in and reading them too quickly! I am planning to cover more kit this weekend and include the remote tripod. I will also pop a link in the description shortly
Hi Mark, Loving the videos. I mat have missed it... but what lens have you got on the behind goal remote?
Hi Tommy. When the 7d is behind there, I have a 10-22mm on it. If I pop the 1Dx on the remote I use a17-40mm. Hope that helps👍🏻
@@MarkKerton Cheers mate, looking fwd to the next video
Anytime Tommy. Popping one up in next hour, on wrapping bodies to protect the vulnerable areas from scuffs👍🏻
Just watched it Mark so interesting I currently photograph Swindon Supermarine in the Southern League and I want to try with the camera behind the goal when it gets underway
Thanks Jeff. Glad you enjoyed it. Feel free to ask any Q's re the remote
Hi Mark, Thank you for your reply, the thing I would like to ask you is when you put the camera behind the goal, I see you using your 70-200 for things near by plus goalmouth but how did you trigger the camera behind the goal ?
sorry for sounding a little thick !!
Regards Jeff
Hi Jeff. I use Pocket Wizard triggers. One on the 70-200 body one on the remote body. I run through it in this video Jeff at 9:35👍🏻
Mark Kerton yes Mark just watched it over again and I get it now thank you so much
Ah brill Jeff👍🏻
Wow, now the price tag of this camera finally makes sense. You would loose a lot of money if you had to manually remove the storage device and plug it into a PC.
Thanks for watching. Yes, it’s a pretty special piece of kit for sure👍🏻
Your films are astounding - clear and packed with gems of tips. What's the best way of sending you a private message with a question relating to your work?
Ah many thanks Steve, very kind. If you pop into the “About” section on my home page you can send over an email via my website. I think there is also a direct email link on the channel page too. Thanks again👍🏻
@@MarkKerton Thanks Mark. I'm sure you can't assess the value of your own videos, but the contrast between yours and many others I have viewed in this field is the plainspeaking clarity and straightforward practical advice. I'll send my question direct as you advise
Thanks Steve👍🏻 Okydoke, look forward to catching up soon.
Top of the pile
THANKS RunRideDive
How would you change your settings for night games? And what if the lighting wasn’t as good as professional sports and more like high school? Thanks! Great work.
I would shoot as low as 1/600th if at a small ground/stadium with poor light. Just make sure the iso doesn’t go above 6400 on the 1Dx. Hope all this answers help ok👍🏻
@@MarkKerton yea that’s where I was and then I met some other photographers in area and they were suggesting to go to 1250ss and auto iso. I get some crazy high ISO’s on my Nikon D500 and 750 which handles low light well but still...
A matter of interest Mark, if the haze was giving you a lot of trouble in the first half, how come you didn’t position yourself on the opposite side thus also avoiding the linesman?
We’ve just been discussing last weeks issues David. I moved with Chelsea attack for the second half to the other corner flag as that’s where the away fans are. Had there been a late Chelsea goal they would have ran and celebrated straight at me, so with that in my mind risked the haze! There was some cloud floating about too, but just not when Alonso scored!
Just wondering why in the first half you were shooting into the sun with the lineman running past you, when the opposite side wouldn't have had these problems?
How do you send pictures to the server from the goal cam and long lens cam during the game?
We retrieve the remote cam card at half time, then full time. The 400 card is just swapped as needed👍🏻
You should probably get an app usually used in astro photography, to know where the sun will be before hand. Good stuff anyways!
Once we’ve chosen our spot we can’t move unfortunately! The clouds suddenly parted and out came the sun!
@@MarkKerton Oh I see... Thanks for the great content and hopefully have new games to share with us soon !
Love these videos Mark! Really like that stool too, if I end up getting one I’ll be sure to buy through your link.
One question I do have: the 70-200 pretty much covers the closer stuff, which I’d assume would be most of the key attacking action from the side you’re at. Does the 400mm have that much importance if it’s mainly getting stuff from the other end or guys nearer the middle of the pitch?
I do a few amateur games and typically have my 70-200 for the whole game. I do find it lacks reach for action at the other end to me, but I tend to go with the attitude of I’ll miss the stuff that happens at the wrong end and live with that - I’m just doing it for fun predominantly, so not too worried and if I’m hired by a team I’ll be at the end they are attacking. I’d love the 400mm but my god it’s not half expensive!! Cheers! Hope you’re all good during isolation!
Thanks Simon, great that you enjoyed this video. Hopefully I’ll soon be making some more fingers legs and toes crossed!
Regarding the 400, I would be lost without it to be fair! I only really come off the 400 towards the 18 yard line. It’s also essential at the beginning of the season to get lots of stock images of the players in their new kits etc. Plus, once football season is over are usually turn to cricket or athletics where it is again essential especially for Cricket as you can imagine. Are usually add the 1.4 extend it to the 400 to 4 Cricket Sometimes the only story from the game can be the managers so it’s a must that we have it to get over to the dugout too. Yes, they are very expensive but there are some really good quality secondhand ones on eBay and online at MPB for example. You can pick one up for around £3000 at the moment.
Thanks for supporting the channel Simon and hopefully you are keeping well and finding things to photograph at the moment. Catch up soon
Mark Kerton cheers Mark! I’ve went and ordered that stool! Boredom in isolation is hammering my credit card!! 😂
I think if I was doing professional games it would be worth me looking at investing, my main issue is I’m on Sony so I’ll likely be waiting a while before their g-master hits the second hand market! I love mpb - great company! Since I’m only doing amateur games where the pitches are much smaller and you can get much closer maybe the 400 isn’t as necessary for me - as nice as it would be to have one!
Here’s hoping we’re not stuck in isolation for too long, although the biologist in me thinks it’ll be a long time before crowds are back at games ☹️. Great to have videos like these to watch though, I love that “behind the scenes” type stuff of football matches, seeing how your day goes! Take care! 👍
Ah nice one Simon. Sony is pretty much up to speed now sports wise isn’t it. Sean Ryan on the fb group has recently switched to Sony and loves it! Are you on the fb group?
Mark Kerton yeah I think they are maybe missing some third party options for the telephoto side that would give cheaper alternatives, and maybe a 300mm prime would be a good option, but they’ve been doing quite well recently to build their lens options so long may that continue!
I have experience of both DSLRs and mirrorless and while I absolutely love the canon grip and how the cameras feel in your hands, I just find the electronic viewfinders and Sony’s eye autofocus to be sooo good I could never see me going back to an optical viewfinder again. But I do think canons are more fun/enjoyable to use!
I’m not from a Facebook group no, just that random exotic stranger that sometimes pops in outta nowhere! Ha!
You’ll have to join our group Simon. It’s fairly new, about 240 members but full of great guys who just want to chat about anything photography👍🏻 facebook.com/groups/211928853446270/?ref=share
I’ve not had a go with s Sony as yet. Recently bought a Canon M50, mainly for filming but really impressed with it so far. It’s just so tiny!
Hi Mark,
Wanna asking,
Camera behind goal keeper
1. You put camera on the left, but final image, on the right. Did you move it?
2. When it rain, you protect the camera ? When?
3. You said, manual exposure with 1/2000 f: 7.1, when it rain, you change the setting?
4. What your memory card on the camera? Same with camera trigger?
5. How your set manual focus , because there is no subject? Or u set infinity focus?
Thanks for thw answer, i like your video.
Waiting you capture LFC...
#ynwa
Hi Yulius. Thanks for the Q's. I moved ends at half time so the goal cam moved with me. The rain cover is easy to put on so that goes on as and when it rains. I have my goal camera on auto ISO. Same memory cards are used, Lexar 1066 32gb. I manually focus the goal camera focussing just past the goal line, using the back screen. This is all covered in the video. Hope that helps Yulius.👍
23:06 when you setup and there is going to be bad weather.. do you just keep the kit out there and hope it doesn’t get wet?
Remote kit… sorry.. let out the word remote.
I’ll comment this on a more recent video but why do you need to do FTP before the game. What benefit does it give? I don’t quite understand it.
Thanks for watching Roy. I always get the ftp set up as soon as possible as when on remote edit all images go into a certain file back at the desk. So right from the pre game shots ALL images are sent off camera👍🏻
Hi, thanks for sharing. Why are you going so high on shutter speed and iso. Like 1/2000th and 5000iso. Would it not rather make sense to stay at 1/1250 and go down with iso as well?
Thanks Vedren. Very good point. It’s very important that we freeze as much as possible. I have worked in 1250th but find the ball is still carrying motion in some frames. As the 1Dx can cope very well with high ISO’s I tend to push the speeds when I can. Obviously in low light conditions or under floodlights I will lower speeds, to keep the iso down.
@@MarkKerton got it. I actually like to have the ball in motion. So it's a stylish preference. Cool videos. Keep going.
Thanks Vedran. Bit slow at the moment but I'll keep trying to add content when I can. Stay safe!
sir, in 7dmk2, ( remote ) you said manual focus, f:7 .. and what mode ? Av, or M ? when raining, the camera still ok? because you cant move
Hi Yurigo. Yes, the remote is on manual too. I do have a cover for it for the big games but in general I won’t put it out if it’s raining👍🏻
@@MarkKerton thanks.. btw, still photo EPL?
Not currently unfortunately Yurigo. The work disappeared last March! Fingers crossed it will return soon🤞🏻
I am new to photography and was wondering where the photos get sent to through the ethernet cable. Do they get uploaded to your laptop? The science behind it is so confusing to me
Hi Sydney. Sorry if I didn’t explain it well enough. The images head off down the Ethernet cable and straight to the desk back at the office for editing and distribution to various clients, papers and online media outlets. Hope that helps👍🏻
subtitulos en español por favor!!
When you are shooting do you tend to use an expanded set of AF points or a single AF point?
Single AF point Guy. Then set the joystick so I can move the point quickly if needed👍🏻
Mark Kerton thanks, so what’s the other lens you shoot with? A 400mm F2.8 prime?
Sorry Guy, missed your reply! Yeh, a mki IS 400mm f2.8. Wouldn’t be without it! Great with the x1.4 or x2 on too. Just need to increase the f stop slightly with them, great for cricket.
One tip: skip the entire entering of the ip address, it would be very easy for someone to figure it out if they took the time to lookat the wheel position.
edit: also just leave out the part with the password, you do not want people figuring that one out! I believe you can edit it out in the youtube studio.
Fair point Mika. It would be a lot of effort though just to send a frame into my file, which would get auto deleted as it wouldn’t carry my file name for that day.
What Lens Do You Use on the Remote Goal Camera?
Hi Mr Gee. I’ve had the 7d mkii on the remote with the 10-22 on. Plan is to grab a 3rd 1Dx soon and pop the 17-40 on it. As and when we return anyway! Hope that helps. Thanks for getting in touch and supporting the channel👍🏻
Brilliant video mate! Do you ever get upto Anfield to photograph a proper team?
Haha, not yet Nick. We tend to stay in our own patch
Ah so you have to wait for us to come to the likes of Bournemouth then
That’s it mate. It’s very handy though. I tend to alternate between Saints & Bournemouth
We've got Bournemouth next league game but it's at Anfield! Only game we got left down that way is away at Brighton
I might get that game Nicholas we’ll see?
I was always taught to shoot wide open to really blur out the background. I noticed a lot of your shots were at 5.6. Just curious about why?
Hi Rene. I use f5.6 on my 70-200 to ensure goal mouth frames have a good depth for capturing say two players in the focus area and not one. Sometimes, with the action so quick, the focus area may not quite be perfectly on the player, but both him and his opponent should still be sharp enough. Hope that helps👍🏻
@@MarkKerton Makes perfect sense. I have had that issue with 2 or more players but I mostly shoot night time high school football in terrible lighting so wide open it is.
Got you Rene. Different under poor light for sure!
Does your camera ever get stolen?
Like the goal cam?
Hi Ahaan. Theft is an issue yes unfortunately! Not a good idea to leave ANY of the kit unattended now! The goal cams are ok as they're mainly unaccessible for the fans but its been known for kit to get stolen from our positions!
Is the 70-200 in manual focus for the match so the goal cam works
Hi Steffan. The goal cam pocket wizard is triggered by the shutter on my 70-200 body, so no need to to go into manual focus. The goal cam IS in manual Steffan. I set the goal cam focus point just past the goal line area. Hope that helps.
@@MarkKerton cheers i am thinking of starting remote goal cam pics myself just don't think i'm ready yet
Its ever so easy to set up Steffan. I go through the set up in this video at the start. Have a look at it and fire any more Q's over👍
@@MarkKerton having a look through it now what lens is on the remote cam
I use a Canon 10-22mm on the 7d Steffan.
I saw your format as NTSC, I thought PAL was used in Europe?
Hi Milton. Did you? I shall have to look into that. Thanks for the heads up.
I'm sure I missed this somewhere, but are you transferring jpg or raw to the FTP server? Thanks!
Hi Barry. We shoot in jpg for sport. Smaller file size obviously and need the speed for transfer👍🏻
@@MarkKerton I thought that was the case. Do you use any picture styles or in camera editing/sharpening in that case? Or maybe we're into the realm of spitballing ideas for a future video? 😉
@@bbsphotography2187 I’ve made a few vlogs on in camera settings and the like Barry. Try to get as much right as possible, ensuring the editors have little to do.
I am currently working through your vlogs so I'll keep an eye out. Thanks!
Ah thanks Barry, really appreciate your support👍🏻
Hi Mark, Server Name = Host (ip address of ftp hosting), correct? Because customer sent to me: Host looks ip address, login and password
What do you set your ISO at for the remote camera?
Hi Jonny. Thanks for watching. I have the remote in auto iso usually. Then there’s no exposure change through the winter as the light changes👍🏻
@@MarkKerton Cheers mate. Loving the videos. Just got myself a D5 so think about using the D850 as a remote camera.
@@jonnyspinks85 Ah nice one. Always worth popping a remote out👍🏻
@@MarkKerton Sorry another random question....when you are shooting a lot does you remote camera buffer a lot as it doesn’t have the FPS speed of your main camera?
Why not f2,8?
What camera body is that?
In this video I am using a 1Dx and a 7dmkii.
Cracking video Mark - it really illustrates the trials and tribulations of shooting professional sport in all weathers
Thanks Shaun👍🏻 Appreciate your feedback
