Photography Football Project
By Jamie Bleumink
Football is a sport that requires a photographer that knows all the rules and highlights of the game.
The type of equipment used for photography at a football match is a 35 mm SLR camera with a focus lens, a long lens and a normal lens plus a case and a zoom for getting close up. An umbrella if it is raining and a soft cloth in case the lens get wet or dirty and alot of film. The camera will also need a motor drive so the photographers can take lots of pictures and choose the best picture. The photographer may need special film in case he is photographing a night game or a day game. Fast film would be needed if it is a dark or cloudy day because it soaks up light quicker. Also batteries for the camera and some photographers may have a digital camera to be able to actually see the pictures they have taken.

The photos are normally taken when someone is running with a footy or taking a good mark or a specky. To get a great shot you need to know what good football highlights are. Some good photos in football aren't always taken of the actual players on the ground; there are a lot of photos in the paper of the whole team or the coach or even sometimes the spectators.
