I’ve shot over 100 games of British American football in the past 5-6 years. On many of them, certainly in the last 3 years, I have tried to take some shots on my
non-standard sports photography setup, i.e my compact camera or my iPhone.
I’m quite lucky in that I get access to the players that lots of other photograsphers in the game don’t get, so I can go on the pitch while the team is warming
up or practising and be right next to them in the huddle, or have them runnning right past me during warm-ups.
I sometimes take game shots on the iPhone, but due to the fact that the phone doesn’t have telephoto, (I never use the zoom function as, being a digital
only zoom, it just degrades image quality) I have to be fairly close to the action to get anything reasonable on the phone. Mostly I am taking shots on the
phone from behind the end zone during extra points or field goals.
The Hertfordshire Hurricanes visited Northampton University to take on the Nemesis. Unfortunately for Northampton Uni they weren’t set to be the
Hurricanes’ Nemesis; the Hurrcianes ran out winners by their biggest ever winning margin, 95 – 0.
